Button Holes...

This is my friend Dean. He has been struggling with this baby sweater for a while because of the button holes, so the other day he came into the shop and we spent some time working out how to make them. It was so great to see him have success!

Dean has knit some beautiful sweaters for himself, but this sweater and those button holes were really frustrating him!

I am so proud of him for persevering and the sweater turned out great!

He is pretty much self-taught and I love to see the finished projects and the satisfaction they bring.

Dean and I have found something wonderful in common ... besides our knitting of course ... we both have amazing Mother's!

So on this Mother's Day weekend, I'm remembering my Mom and the many things she taught me ... and the example she set ... she like Dean's Mom were inspiring women!

Happy Mother's Day and Happy Knitting! Alison
