Buttons for Blaster

I did not finish Blaster's sleeve on the weekend. But I am close. So I decided to take a dive in the button stash to see what I had.

Sadly it wasn't much. Oh, don't get me wrong, I have a WONDERFUL button stash. Just nothing that would work for Blaster.
The best I could come up with were these carved wooden ones. And they are nice - I'd definitely consider using them. Except I need eight buttons... and I only have six.

I guess I'm going to have to go button shopping now. Oh... the hardship!

    Buttons, my favorite subject! The thing is, I buy them when I see beautiful ones, but never in the amount I eventually need for projects! From now on, no less than 8 buttons will be purchased.

    I love those buttons. Their two levels of dimension are very sweet.

    I played with the buttons in my Mom's button box when I was little and have since collected buttons. I've got jars filled with them, and it's fun to rummage through them to find those that match.

    Beware the button shopping, somehow I always end up with more than I need when I do that. But yes ... So much fun. Enjoy. That yarn you knit with is just gorgeous knit up. I can't wait to see the final final. all the best!

    Am pretty sure that I've never been button shopping, because my mother, and then my mother-in-law kept such huge stashs of buttons, that I've been able to rummage what I've needed from their treasure troves. Crazy, isn't it?
