Today Pat & I went chasing the last of the wool I need and buttons for the baby jumpers I want to have finished in a couple of weeks for my niece's baby.
Boy the hardest part was finding little buttons, suitable for a baby jumper. I didn't want buttons shaped like carrots, witches, butterflies and so on.....
Just little round buttons with a picture on the buttons, like the ones in this photo.
Spotlight, K-Mart and the odd shop we called into, didn't have them.... good old Big W did.
These buttons will go onto 1 cardigan. Next time I'm in the city I'll look in Lincraft and see what they have to offer. If I have trouble there with finding these sort of buttons, I'll use the 3 spare buttons on another cardigan. Though I'd like to see different buttons on the cardigans given in the gift.
Also I couldn't find yellow wool in 4 ply, so Pat picked out a multi colour wool to knit a baby jumper in.
But you'll have to wait and see the colour, when I am ready to knit with the wool.
