Tiny little pieces of knitting in Noro Silk Garden Lite, covering a variety of ugly or damaged shank buttons from the stash. I tried a covered button kit but the fabric was a bit too thick for it to work. But no matter, it was easy enough just to gather the edges and pull the fabric tight around a normal button - same way I did these.
Oh yeah, the odd one out here is plain 4ply cotton, crocheted.
I'm not sure yet what these are for (although there are also more on the way, it's hard to stop) - possibly some brooches.

Nothing better than a little button covering I say!!!
Mmmmm... lovely buttons. I can see some commissioning coming up for you for special garments. But brooches would also be lovely. ily ma
Love the knitted buttons! Very cool. And the scarf your mum made is just gorgeous!

They would look really cool on a plain colored sweater.
