Closure
Oh, I almost forgot. While I’ve already detailed my yarny acquisitions from the Maine trip, I haven’t yet shown you my nifty new buttons. I know they’re not strictly knitting related, but they will almost certainly get used in some sort of knitterly pursuit, so I’m pretending they’re fair game. Aren’t they pretty?
Now alas, I don’t have a website where you can buy them directly. I got them at KnitWit yarn shop in Portland. They’re pewter, they’re handmade by some sort of super genius in the area, and they were all of $2.00 each. This is a shockingly low price. I, of course, got all of the very very very best ones, but I did manage to leave a few behind. If you find yourself as taken with them as I was, you might be able to contact the store and arrange to get some of your own.
I believe you wish to send the ones in the middle photo to me…
Wow! They are beautiful. They’re pendant worthy IMO. Pity I live in Australia!
Prettiest buttons ever! the middle set especially delights me. Great, I’ve got button envy now!
I got all excited when I saw the word “Portland,” and then I clicked the link and realized it was Portland, Maine, not Oregon. I was hoping I could send my mum off to the shop to find me buttons. Oh well. If you’re ever out in Vancouver, BC, you should check out the shop “Button Button.” It’s my favourite place for buttons, ever, and it’s hard to resist buying things there.
Wow – aren’t those beautiful!!! I did the same thing during a trip to ME a few years ago…KnitWit is such a fun store. I still have five beautiful buttons from that same artisan, awaiting the perfect sweater.
