Almost there

For the past few days I have been helping the HD3QBEM with her knitting.   We have these bright ideas but sometimes they are just too much for aged eyes.   So I picked up the 'needles without eyes" and valiantly knitted and purled halfway through a small sweater.   But I really do not enjoy knitting. For me it is a necessity when I want a new cardigan or sweater for myself.   My days of knitting happily to give generously are past- even if temporarily.  Although I may find that when I am in my late 80's I will become my mother?!@!
Anyway no photos of that.

But I needed some light relief and decided to begin construction on the Christmas Noel Tray.  It's cute and I am pleased but the teeny tiny buttons supplied with the chart are not a true Christmas green.  That, coupled with the fact that I am not using Dinky Dyes floss means they do not match.  So a roadblock. I will tack this together and then leave it until I find teeny tiny buttons in the correct green or red.
The inside looks pretty too.

A good press and the right buttons and this could be called a success.
