The Elf Set

hat and sweater with red and green stripes
The Elf Hat with the Elf Sweater
The Elf Set is done.   One thing I would change is to have the stripes match.   In the long run, it does not matter.

The buttons have deer on them and are perfect for this project.   As JoAnn's does not do a good job with buttons anymore and I did not want to expose myself to the temptation of a brick and mortar yarn store, I shopped for these buttons at Knitpicks.   What a find!

The yarn is Willow Burrow worsted.  Plymouth Encore and Willow Burrow are very similar.  I love them both for projects that need to go through the washer and the dryer safely.   The hat and the sweater went through the washer and dryer last weekend and emerged must softer.

On to the next project!
