WIP Wednesday - Here Comes the Bride...

Working on yet another embroidery. This one for my sister and brother-in-law-to-be who are getting married soon. I probably won't manage to finish in time, but fortunately my sister is fine with this, as the main reason for me not finishing is that I knit her a shrug to wear with her wedding dress. Somehow that was more important ;)
I know you can't really make much out yet, but I'm not going to post a link to the sample on the off-chance that she stumbles across this blog ;)

Nearly done with the ladybug sweater for my niece. It almost didn't make it to the second WIP post. This has been such a fun knit! I'm very, very happy with it. 3 buttons down and 6 to go. Unfortunately I hate sewing in buttons so I find myself procrastinating quite a bit, but I see my niece next on Sunday, so I have to finish by then :)
(Sorry about the poor quality of the photo - I didn't notice how bad it was until I'd uploaded it.)

    1. I'm doing a test-knit on Ravelry, so the pattern hasn't gone public yet. It should do so soon though.

  7. I do like the colour of the buttons! I always find it so hard to find buttons I like, but your choice suits the jumper perfectly!

    1. I couldn't believe my luck when I found them! Considering the pattern is called ladybug sweater, of course it had to have ladybug buttons! :-)
