Crochet buttons

I got some fabulous news today, all the braids and hairpin samples I sent passed. (most with flying colours) I had also sumitted 7 crochet buttons. These had been rushed and were a last minute make so I had  not photographed them before I posted my samples off.
Crochet buttons...well I wasn't keen. I could not imagine using them and why anyone would want to make them. Well the Diploma said I needed to make them so I did.

Surprisingly for me, I actually enjoyed making them. They were a little fiddly but they didn't take long to complete. I really liked the button I made with a steel washer and some 4ply hand dyed merino.

I could actually imagine this on a garment or a lovely hand made bag. I'd actually stitch it onto my denim jacket I like it so much. 

So well done International Diploma in Crochet. .. making me try something new and changing my mind. And thanks to my lovely husband for finding the only washer we had in the tool box. I now need to go and buy some....
