Though it hasn't been blocked yet, I've been wearing my owls cardigan every day. I am having trouble finding buttons for it. The bleached horn ones I wanted are nearly sold out--and I need 14, so my trip to Joann's was unnecessary, as they never keep enough of any given style in stock.
The drive all the way to Utica wasn't a complete waste of time, since I picked up some wide ribbon (in leopard print!) to cover the mess of a steek. It's a bit fiddly to sew in, but that'll keep me occupied while I wait to find the perfect buttons. Does anyone know of a good online button shop? I'd prefer something in a natural material.
Now to daydream about my next big project while I finish up the sleeves of my nephew's sweater and listen to Outlander. After all this brown, I think I'll knit up this tosh dk. The colorway ought to be called February--but it's close enough. It's named Coquette!

Oh that leopard ribbon!!!
ReplyDeleteI second Elizabeth, they make the most amazing buttons.
ReplyDeleteLove your ribbon.
Buttons are always a challenge for me. I hop on Etsy and try to find what I need. I haven't done it in a while though so I have no recommendations. Maybe just do a search on there. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteLove the ribbon! As far as buttons, I have jars of buttons all over the place, maybe a bit of an obsession of mine :-) Good luck finding what you are looking for!
ReplyDeleteButtons are hard. I love your new pink yarn. Yum!!
ReplyDeleteI prefer natural too, or retro. But plain old boring buttons? Nah...
