I am already selling my buttons in an upscale yarn shop, so I think next time I am there, I will mention the idea of making custom buttons to her and see if she thinks that would be something her customers would like.

And thanks, re: the buttons. I'd have thought I'd be sick of making them by now, but I just keep enjoying it! It was a nice way to spend a day! And thanks, re: the buttons.

Could you get samples of the yarn, make buttons to match, and market to upscale yarn shops? The buttons really take the special yarn just one step further to yumminess (maybe it isn't a word, but I like it) :) Love the idea of matching buttons to varigated yarn, and they look great!

Thanks for the link. What's funny is that the yarn shop she mentions in her post (Imagiknit) is the place where I ordered those balls of yarn in my first photo! BTW, I really have no self control, and already have matching buttons for the Kaffe Fassett yarn in the oven as we speak :-) Ooh, that looks really pretty! Thanks for the link.

I have a couple of skeins of Regia that are waiting to be turned into something warm & cozy. I'm thinking handwarmers instead of socks, so I can see them all the time. Here's a pattern that would probably be great with that yarn. http://www.sheepinthecity.prettyposies.com/archives/000079.html ::: drool ::: I love Kaffe Fassett’s colourways.

It's funny how we can enjoy certain tasks for only so long and then our creativity begs to be used elsewhere, isn't it? Thanks, Heather!
