t Country Blue yarn it's definitely 'all-boy'. My dd and I found some cute teddy bear buttons at Joann's. I think they'll look great. So here's where I am so far - an armless sweater! The body is finished, I 'm supposed to start the sleeves next, then edging, then sew on buttons. But I just realized, before I finished off the body, that you reattach the yarn in the SAME spot to start the edging... so I started the edging first! Then sleeves, then buttons... uh oh, can I use white thread for the buttons?

Baby sweater progress
Oops... I knew this baby was coming, but I forgot. So I've dropped all other projects for the moment and hope to finish this later today... I'm flying solo with the kids this weekend though, so no promises! I love the pattern (source shown in this post) and although it's a pretty pattern I think with the Simply Soft Ligh

Hey! I just started this WIP last night. I have to say that I love how yours is turning out. It's a great pattern. Can't wait to see yours when it's done!
very nice! does it actually need sleeves? it's cute just as it is...
Hi, Ginny! Really cute top! I just read that you are running out of yarn for it. Hopefully, your idea of using a different color for the edging will work.
I have a little tip for yarn for buttons. Try pulling the plies apart and using the separated plies for thread. It doesn't always work, but it's worked for me sometimes.
