This set started out a while back. A customer was trying to return yarn, but one of my colleagues had given them the wrong information. We accept yarn back, as long as we are still selling yarn of that dyelot. I felt so sorry for the woman I bought the yarn she was trying to return. 

I wasn't sure how far the yarn would go in the baby cardi, so I added white as an accent colour. When the Toffee Latte ran out I finished the cardi in white. Instead of just the one button, I added buttons every 20th row.

A little later, I was given a tiny ball of the Toffee Latte, and I thought "That would be enough to make a nice little hat to go with the cardi." I took it along to the Mabon concert on the 17th of July. Whilst there, I made two hats, one plain white, and the other Toffee Latte and white. 

By the end of the concert my joints were rather sore and stiff. I concentrated on getting and moving; the Beloved picked up the hats, yarn, needles and my jacket. Except a little hat got left behind. When we got home, I texted my Italian teacher (her boyfriend plays in the band), and asked if he might be able to have a look. It wasn't found immediately, and I only received it back on the 1st, but it is now finished, and looking rather cute.
