Slow Sunday Stitching

I finished the toe pattern on Waiting for Santa.

 Now I want to fill in the stitching above the red edge. I have started adding some backstitching so that I can turn the scroll. 

I have attached the arms and sewn all the seams on the knitted jacket. I have started knitting the hood. I figure I have to knit around 70 rows. I am using the darker blue for the hood. 

I looked for cute buttons for the jacket at the fabric store the other day (you can read about that here), but they didn't have anything that interested me. I will go back when the jacket is completed and bring it with me.

I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Grab a cup of tea or coffee and stop by her site to see what other bloggers are stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!

    The stocking design is such a cute one! Love the sweater, too - it's such a pretty color of blue.

    Love the sewing and the little sweater, I have hundreds of buttons but why is it we can never find exactly the ones we need. Have a great week ahead.

      Thank you. A friend reminded me of a local notions shop. I think I will find the buttons there.

    buttons are so hard to find these days. Whenever I am in a store I stock up on neutrals and the traditional pinks and blues hoping that they will match a future knitting project.
