It is so cosy and warm lovely to wear :)

    Thanks, I did undo the button band as I knit bands quite loosely, so I swapped out the 4mm for 2.5 mm needles, it is smaller but looks nicer I think. I love the deco buttons too. A friend gave me a huge bag of buttons and I am working through them though most are small.

      Good move. I think button bands work better when they’re denser / tighter. More for the buttons to hang onto!

    Gill - that’s how I feel about cotton washcloth squares (and circles) 😁

    That is stunning!! You managed to line the stripes up perfectly. That is no small task. It looks very soft and comfy.
    You are one talented lady!! Thanks for sharing.

    You have skills!
    I have a button collection, too. Mine are quirky ones like penguins, dragons and a host or rabbit ones. I need to make something...I sew so maybe should make myself a few things.
