I have quite a serious little obsession: if something is hand-knitted or crocheted, the buttons have to be handmade too. I hate fiddling about making buttons and, whenever possible, make things that do not need them, but… this time I had to. I took white yarn and wrapped it ten times around an ordinary pencil, each new loop on top of the previous one. Then I started sewing around it with buttonhole stitch.
