In Workshop Handouts Volume 3, I cover Yarn Buttons. Included were "Creative Buttons". I've had numerous people ask lately where these buttons could be purchased but hadn't seen them in so long that I was afraid they were no longer available. But I was wrong, they are being made by LoRan and are available where Dritz or Prym products are, like Joann and Hancock Fabrics and Fabricland. Knitwear with buttons is everywhere so you might want to get some Creative Buttons to match your knitting.
