For all you button lovers out there!
I have been sorting through my buttons to add to the twiddle mitts that I have finished.
I bought a bucketful from Abakhan or Askaban as I keep calling it!
They were in big bargain bins and I sorted out as many big, shiny, colourful ones as I could find. They will be perfect to add a bit of glitz to my twiddle mitts.
The next batch are ready to go down to the dementia nurse at our local hospital. I have a stiff shoulder at the moment so haven't done much knitting. It's been a bit too warm and muggy anyway. They certainly look a colourful bunch don't they!
Have a great week.
xx Jo

What a fab bunch of twiddlers you've got there Jo. Playing with buttons is so therapeutic isnt it? I love buttons.

Wowee you’re simply amazing Jo, one even has a wee sailing boat on it a wee chicken and others have flowers and with such attention to detail with so many little bits and bobs they will warm and delight many hearts, love them so much!

The details on your twiddlemitts are fantastic - well done you for doing such an amazing thing. I always have to think before saying the word Abakhan as well (even typing it just now!) and think that Aslaban is much better, lol!!

Hi Jo, love the mitts, and what an ace way to buy buttons! Have a lovely week, hugs, Shaz #4 X
Hi Jo, seems we are heading for a heatwave too - not sure how I feel about that as I'm simply not designed for too much sun. Your twiddle mitts are wonderful - very colourful and, well, twiddly. So many buttons are impressive. Did you know that there are people who fear buttons. There is even a name for it - koumpounophobia! Hope you don't suffer from hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - that's a fear of long words. Oh, the irony :) Have a lovely week. Hugs, Ellie x #24
They really are a happy sight to see Jo. I'm a magpie for buttons but never seem to use up what I have before purchasing more. Not a good idea for me to buy in bulk hee hee!! Have fun sorting and knitting you will put many smiles on faces with them.

Love the twiddle mitts Jo, colourful indeed. Azkaban might just be the right name for that particular shop: once you are iside it is hard to escape lol. Hope the shoulder is less stiff soon. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
Buttons! I love colourful buttons! The twiddlemits are gorgeous. Maybe I should commission one from you for Gran - she keeps fiddling with her phone and switching it off! Maybe if she had a twiddle mitt to fiddle with she wouldnt fiddle with the phone... Happy WOYWW. Have a lovely week. With love & God Bless, Caro xxx (#15)
Hi Jo, lovely mits. Funny to see you sorting your buttons as it was only last week that I tried to sort some of mine, not sure where they all came from but I seem to have loads. Wishing you a very happy woyww with hugs, Angela x11x
Wow that's a lot of twiddlemuffs. Took me ages to knit two, then I thought they were a little thick with doubling them up. Keep up the good work. Ani #18
The twiddlemitts are so detailed-you have great patience. Hope the sore shoulder is easing-knitting makes my right one ache after a short time.
Oh Jo, I'd die and go to heaven if I had all those buttons. This is wonderful. You must be very happy because you found some beauties.
Thank you again for your lovely card and felted ATC. I am so honored. Happy WOYWW from #1.
I quite thought I had already visited you but it looks as though it was in my dreams. Your twiddle mitts are much a lovely idea and so beautifully done. Those buttons are a great addition. xxx Maggie (Silvercrafter) #9
