A little perspective

You could've knocked me over with a bamboo dpn when I saw the newest Old Navy commercial on TV. It's a commercial for their fair isle sweater collection that features the music of Ingrid Michaelson's song The Way I Am. I first heard The Way I Am on the marveous podcast Cast-On, and I immediately bought the CD. LOVE IT! Can't stop singing it. Check out the commercial, and let me know what you think of the song.

It's amazing what a few days distance from a finished project does to your perspective. I stitched up the shoulders on the eyelet-ridden BSJ and put on the buttons.



I'm immensely proud that I completed it, and I love that knitterly denial pushed me through to the end despite the eyelet. Buttons make it, and I gave it to my niece yesterday. She should get good wear out of it this season as it is sized just right for her petite little 2 y.o. frame.

Work continues on the second eyelet-free BSJ, and I just cast on some new socks using some delicious custom yarn purchased on Etsy. That's an entry for another day or two when I can post a finished sock for you all to see.
