![Confession Time with Katie:
Playing Mario Kart has made me a worse driver. As I drove to lunch with a friend, I wished for a flashing star so I could be invincible and drive through everything.
Also, we're eating bagels for lunch because throwing rules out windows is my new favorite hobby.
Speaking of hobbies, I started a Constellate Hat in the colorway, African Violets by LolaBean Yarn. The first Constellate took me nineteen months so surely i can beat that!
LOL. @marz1pan thought I was knitting a sock for someone with HUGE calves!
In writing news, I plan to send a short story before mid-December so join my Inner Circle Email List if you need a dopamine hit right about now.
I hope you have the Monday you need, Crew! I love you!!!!

…the sheep’s in the meadow and the dog’s in the kitchen….’cause every time the camera comes out, she thinks “treats!”.
I bought these buttons specifically for Turtle in NYC when she was newly pregnant. So, I put them to use on this cute baby kimono. Behold, my first sweater!
Pattern: Seamless Kimono by Carina Spencer
Yarn: Madelinetosh Tosh DK Fig
Fastenings: Buttons are sewn on and have snaps behind them because button loops now give me nightmares and you need to knit the garter border if you want button holes. I figured that out a scoach too late. Scottiegirly suggested the snaps and The Husband consulted on button placement. I may have asked him where to put the turtles 50 times. may have.
Overall, I loved this pattern; it’s great for a first sweater…and I’m feeling pretty good about my decision not to try matching the green on the buttons.
Ps. Check out what other folks have finished at Tami’s Amis and Fiber Arts Fridays

My cat runs to the kitchen and begs under the treat cupboard whenever we’re nearby ;)
Love the fig colourway and the buttons complement it perfectly.
Pets are such fun. :)
Thank you!
Adorable buttons….did he get his treat…how could you resist that look?
Sydney got her treat, but I made her do a couple of tricks first, otherwise, there’d be no living with her. :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE that sweater and the beautiful buttons. I know what you mean about the dog, mine always finds their way into the photos too.
Thank you! I can’t wait to see it on him.
gorgegous! and the buttons are fantastic!
Thank you! I bought all the turtle buttons the shop had at Vogue Knitting, so at least I have no regrets.
Eep! You know I think it’s beautiful!! And of course…LOVE the turtles :-)
