Knitting the Stash! 
Great podcast! Your sweater looks great on you, great job. Here is an Etsy Shop that I think you might like her ceramic buttons….Sheppardhandmade.
I bought the first of the series yarn from Jennifer called Lean In, can’t wait to knit a shawl with this. They are wonderful people and one day I hope to meet.
Thanks for sharing.

Incredible work on the sweater, Melissa. 🙂 It looks like a brilliant design, and you’ve done it beautifully. The pink collar is a great detail. Wonderful to hear about your Colorado adventures. 🙂

Thanks, Shirley 🙂 CO is always fun and sometime sunny. I really enjoyed taking the family out to the sheep; I think my mom-in-law enjoyed the lamb-holding the most–as did I.

Your sweater looks so professionally made – perfect fit for you! Your new stash enhancement is so tempting to look at – I want every single skein 🙂

Thanks so much, Alina! It’s always hard to go into the Loopy Ewe and come away with only 1-2 skeins of yarn. That place is like mecca!

Yes, I saw that you’d been catching up with the adventures of Paddy and Plunkett… Thanks for checking them out 😀 And I’ll see what my local yarn stores have in the way of buttons next time I’m in – one of them definitely used to stock locally-made ones, but it’s been a while since I saw them!
