Buttons

After finishing my February Lady (Ravelry link), I wanted buttons. I went to several shops, and although I bought some lovely buttons, they just weren't quite right for the colour of yarn.
Furthermore, I'm part way through another cardigan for Mum's birthday, so something that was just okay wasn't really an option, they had to be perfect.

So last week, I dug out some Fimo from my stash of miscellaneous craft items, and had a go at creating my own.


These are a mid brown, with a dark blue vein running through them. When they're next to the yarn, they're neither too stark nor too similar - in fact, they're perfect.

All I need to do now is sew them on.
