Simpler and with the bonus of being able to rummage through button stash and not having to settle on the only biggish ones I have seven of . <br />June , I think I can still just about remember how to get the panda eyes but the hair ? <br />Mrs. Smith , I'd definitely rather look sophisticated than Bill Cosby !

If you don't want to knit buttonholes then cheat. Do 2 plain bands and sew on the buttons with big press studs behind them, you can buy clear plastic studs that should blend in nicely!<br />(And if you get stuck there's loads of people who can help....I will)Rattling Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04717017116448498799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240778511347611810.post-34013591765127132982012-06-13T18:12:44.819-07:002012-06-13T18:12:44.819-07:00Those whacky, Bill Cosby style jumpers are coming ...Those whacky, Bill Cosby style jumpers are coming back into fashion!
