Must Have revisited

Remember Must Have No. 1?  (I ended up using the square buttons, BTW.)  I love it, but the sleeves are way too long and the body is just a little too short.  I ripped one sleeve back with the intention of reknitting a cuff a couple of inches shorter.  This, I can assure you, is a monumental pain in the ***.  This is why it has gone no further and I didn't get to wear it at all this winter.

And it was a fun sweater to knit so I'm doing it again.  This one is in Paton's Classic Wool.  She's perking right along. 

I went to knitting today at the LYS and picked up some summer sock yarn:

And some great stitch markers made by Haley, daughter of Lea-Ann, owner of Knitting Today.  Industrious young lady, that one.

            

Although it's supposed to get cold and stormy, the last few days have been springtime-in-the-Midwest gorgeous.  The hyacinth are blooming!  (And I love, love, love my new Canon PowerShot A570.)
