Button Mania

I bought this stash of buttons from Trash and Treasure for $3.00.

I'd say there is about 100 or so.

They were a little dirty and smelt.

I have washed them and they still smell, so they are now soaking in eucalyptus oil.

I am sitting quite a distance from them and I can smell them from here!

So I'm sure they'll come up a treat!

Just a few varieties

UPDATE!

So I cleaned the buttons and got them smelling nicer. The eucalyptus oil was not a good idea as it tended to melt the plastic on some buttons. I also got around to sorting them into coloured groups and I counted them. Guess how many? Well in total there was 436!

126 blue, 80 grey, 135 brown/red shades, 114 green and 81 black & assorted .

Tie Front Sweater from Positively Crochet

This tie front sweater is a pattern from the positively crochet pattern book.

Great pattern book I must add.

The top of the sweater is a very nice fit.

You can make it the length you want.

I made the large size and used 100% 8ply wool, with a size 5.00 and 6.00 mm hook.

The top part is also done in double strands (which makes it nice and warm)

and the lower part in single strand. Hence the 2 sizes of hooks.

Below is a picture of the matching hat and neck warmer I made.

This is the book and the pattern is on page 61. I recommend this book to any one thinking of purchasing it.

What's your Favourite?

These are some set's that I have made, to hopefully sell at a market.

I have not used a pattern for any of them.

They are unique in themselve's.

I just start to crochet and form a pattern and colour scheme

that will suit the yarn that I am using.

I have given them names and am hoping that you will vote on your favourite.

This will give me more insight on what to duplicate.

Thanks for looking.
