      He will look very smart Lyn, gorgeous little shirt to go with the vest. How is your husband's jumper going ?

        Almost up to starting the pattern at top and doing the sleeves, but am knitting a tunic top for one of the girls at the same time. I ended up picking up some yarn yesterday in Spotlight at Wollongong as I had previously been unable to get it at my local Spotlight. So there goes my New Years resolution not to buy any more yarn 🧶.......

      I am so glad someone else has noticed that about Spotlight buttons, 5 buttons in a box for $6.00. I remember when they were in long cylinders and they were 5 cents or 10 cents each. Admittedly the buttons in the boxes are very nice but by the time you buy wool and a pattern it certainly adds up.Now I sound like a moaning money.lol.😊😊😊😊 Big W has a good range of wool,and buttons.

        Thanks for your comments Michelle, I think the buttons were from Big W, as Spotlight seem to have gone across to little boxes of a specific number of buttons, usually one short of the number you require, hence the need to buy 2 expensive boxes!
