What's Gotten Into Me?!

Shut up, I'm on a roll! And I'm feeling great, with no inflammation or pain (knock wood), so my knitting mojo appears to be back.

Next up:

For this I'm using my favorite yarn, Peace Fleece, in charcoal gray (Fathers Gray) sportweight/DK. This is left over from the sweater I made for David a couple-three-four years ago.

I started this sweater a long time ago -- probably about the time I started G'Day -- and I had the back and one front panel completed. But given what I learned about size when I finished G'Day, I ripped it all out and started over in a smaller size on Saturday. (And look at me go!)

The sweater is going to look roughly like this:

It's "Lush Shaped Cardigan" ("Lush" was the name of the yarn the pattern was originally designed for).  It's from a Classic Elite Pattern Booklet called 9060 Noble Fibers.

Arguably, the best part of this sweater will be these copper buttons I got from an Etsy seller McDaddio:

It's not very possible to see in my photos, but in this yarn there are little flecks of copper colour, as well as some forest green and white or light gray. Very wonderful.

Success breeds success! The sweater will be another fabulous one. I love the simplicity of the design and the yarn. The buttons are spot on!

just hope you aren't putting that sassy beyotch in there...the sweater will do much nicer on you :) tis a pretty one.
don't forget to ice/cool your wrists this time before it's an issue! or at least stretch once an hour (unwarranted advice courtesy of your friendly OT/massage therapist xo)

Those buttons are of a level of gorgeousness where you would take them to the yarn store to find a yarn that looks good with them...
Lucky you to have the yarn already in stash!

Thanks for adding the link for those buttons. I have been searching high and low for copper buttons for my sweater and this seller has exactly what I wanted.

Have you seen the Peace Fleece Lovers Forum on Ravelry? Just had a sweater KAL and are in the midst of a sock KAL - it's fun to see all the PF projects. You got me started with PF when you were knitting all those cute doggie sweaters.

Lovely! The buttons in particular are fab. Only time I consider losing weight is when I want to cast on a new sweater...
