For The Love of Buttons

Buttons are awesome and fun and cute and an affordable indulgence for a craft project, while also being small enough to store in even the most modest of craft cabinets (or drawers). Today’s post is about all the pretty buttons that have crossed my path. Really, let’s just admire pretty buttons. I love beautiful or unique buttons so I thought it would be fun to have a post entirely with photos of buttons. I mean, why not, right?

Decisions, decisions... #buttons at #vivitrading in #kinsale.

Buttons from @vibescraft heading to @geniaplanck. Hope the mail is faster than a terrapin. #buttons #feartheturtle #pink #orange #deltazeta #craftersofinstagram #turtle #terrapin #tortoise

It's hunting season. Button hunting season, that is. I love #CorkButtonCo #CorkCity #buttons

Into each weekend, a little mending will fall. These #buttons are cross-sections of #deer #antlers. They were cut off post-breeding to protect the rest of the herd. More adventures from @clonfaddachef #knit #knitting #knitstagram #makedoandmend

New #buttons from #Cork Button Company. All destined for handknit baby cardigans.

I think I may love #buttons just a little too much. These are the #bee's knees! #etsyirl #bumblebee #bees #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #babyknits #yellow

New #buttons from @thisisknit and Sew via @dublinknitcollective because she's so sweet.

I bought these #buttons in Paris two years ago and finally found the perfect destination. #knittersofinstagram #rabbit #carrot #babyknits #knitstagram #navy #cableknit

My BFF had cute as a button twins! So, naturally, I sent her a woolly welcome-to-the-world parcel. #twins #knitstagram #knitting #pink #blue #buttons #knittersofinstagram #loveineverystitch

Just found this photo from a baby cardigan I knit last year for a friend's baby girl. Hope baby A is enjoying it. #anchors #buttons #babyknits #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram

Which buttons are your favorites? Kinda makes you want to knit a million cardigans, doesn’t it?

A great gift idea for a knitter is to fill a jam jar with generic and special buttons in various quantities with a couple mini spools of thread.
