I finished up the Cherry Leaf Scarf. In the end, I'm not very happy with the result. The scarf itself is okay -- but the finishing I opted for (which was completely in keeping with the pattern) looks terrible -- just three rows of flat garter across the end (the beginning end is all nice and, well, pointy like leafs). There is a second option for finishing -- but it would involved frogging half the scarf, and I just don't have the heart for that. So, for now at least, I'm calling it finished.

And I finished up Haiku. I loved knitting this little sweater. And I'm more than happy with the results. It's in a size 1-2, so it's not going to fit for another few months -- but it's still going in the birthday package! The other picture is of the buttons I used -- sorry for the blurriness, but you get the idea. My sister-in-law has a huge stash of great buttons and was gracious enough to donate these 4. They couldn't have been more perfect!
