New Buttons for Water Street

The original buttons for the Water Street sweater unfortunately aren't available in the same color combination anymore, so I had to look high and low for a replacement.  Luckily what I came up with is pretty terrific.  It's still a bright and light blue swirl, but the colors are twisted up.  The sweater is just as cute as ever!  And, as a plus, these buttons can be made in other colors, so they could be used on the Water Street sweater in another color combination. 

Water Street Sweater

I'm sure the colors in this sweater give away why I chose to name the sweater Water Street.  I started this sweater a while back but was short just a tiny bit of the darker blue yarn--only to find out that it was back-ordered.  Argh!!  Frustrating!  I was worried that I was going to have to frog the whole sweater or find some way to change the color of the cuffs and neckline.  So when the yarn finally came in, I was excited to be able to finish the sweater.  And I'm so pleased with how it turned out. Those blue swirly buttons are just perfect.

I really love how good the sweater looks in the pictures.  The bright blue against the yellow house is so vibrant!

Water Street runs parallel to the Potomac River in Georgetown and leads directly to the Capital Crescent Trail, a trail that runs from Georgetown to Bethesda, Maryland.  Back when I was training for the marathon, I ran along Water Street A LOT.
