I truly never thought you'd all want to see another CeCe modelled. I mean, they all look the same. I forgot to mention on my initial post, I knitted the three-quarter length sleeve - sits just right for me.
As per usual, I couldn't find a button anywhere, so headed back home to raid the button collection. You all keep your good buttons, don't you? You never know when they'll come in handy. Look at that - just like a bought one! I split the Calmer in half to sew the button.
The button is actually a good match, the flash is lightening the button in the photo, but on the garment is looks as if it were made for it.
One other point I forgot to mention to anyone knitting or considering CeCe - use a flat button. A friend quite rightly pointed out that a button with a shank will not sit correctly (of course I had to try just to make sure - she was right). Have a look at some of the others that have been knit and the buttons being used. It's always a good idea to research your project before you begin and with the blogs it's fabulously easy. Most of the time you'll be able to choose the style, yarn, button, etc, that looks the best when all the work's been done for you, and, a good portion of the time someone has already completed one and modelling it for you - oh so easy!
Also, you'll need extra stitch markers when knitting to make life easier when increasing/decreasing, etc.
Knit on people ... now, onto the next knit. I think I'll head back to Brocade and use the Green Espiga, but without bobbles this time.
Nora, if you drop by, how is your Mother going on Brocade and what yarn is she using? Would love an update. You'd have no problem knitting Cece.
