First, the Tomten jacket, knit on 9's with Raspberry Lamb's Pride:
I like these wooden buttons for it. What do you think? (They are not yet sewn on.) Their are hidden buttonholes in the i-cord edging.
Next, the Baby Surprise, knit on 5's with Jamieson & Smith 2 Ply Jumper Yarn. What fun to watch this piece of origami turn into this little sweater!
These are the buttons I picked out--but they really are too big for the holes and too snagging to use with yarn this small. Off to the button store sometime soon. What a shame. Love the buttons even if I can't actually use them on this project....

Hm... Suddenly there is a lot more room in the knitting bag....

Oh, those are just so cute!!!!!
I just came over to look at yours - beautiful color! Wasn't it a fun knit? Lydia
The wooden buttons look cute! As do both those sweaters. Darling.
Both sweaters look great! What size is the Tomten jacket?
Can I just say how beautiful these are? I have never tried knitting, usually stick to cross stitch but seeing these makes me want to try it - gorgeous!
