Runic Buttons

I’m not quite sure how the latest cardi for #5 daughter will be received when she sees the coloured runic buttons I’ve put on it. I’m not sure myself that they are an asset, but they were the only buttons I had left that matched each other in design if not in colour. Every time I knit this pattern, I promise myself it will be the last time and then I go and do it again, but maybe I’ll stick to my guns this time.

Having perforce to remain in the house all morning, I had a walk on the wild side this afternoon. It was very windy but mild and dry which is always a plus and I actually met a neighbour I haven’t seen in a while. We had a little chat about short arms and narrow shoulders, as you do, when clothes have to be altered and shoulder bags refuse to stay in place. It’s always nice to know you don’t suffer alone.
