Subway Knitter ...not afraid to knit in public
Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to wear my socks--holes be damned! I will wear them--a lot, I promise.
In less than a day I will no longer be able to describe myself as "in my twenties". Therefore, I have to make the most of this time :-). In that spirit, today's post is about a speedy shopping experience.
Visiting Windsor Button usually requires at least 45 minutes out of my day. The button selection is huge. When I say "huge" I mean "enormous". Sometimes I can find all of the choices to be overwhelming. This time I knew what I wanted: round, chunky, and low-contrast. In about 30 seconds I had zeroed in on my choice. In about five minutes I was back out on Washington Street, toting my button purchase back to my office. A personal best for in-and-out shopping.
Yes, that is shadow in that photograph. Morning sunshine has returned!
I loved them! They matched the yarn perfectly, and the oh-so-slight sunburst motif gave them a cheery look. Later that day, however, I started to have second thoughts. Are they too big, I wondered. Was my purchase too hasty, I asked myself. I had the pleasure of meeting the oh-so-lovely Wendy in person for a little KIP at our local café. She reaffirmed that I'd made a great choice.
I felt so much better :-). Now, on to the button band....

jump to the comment formThose buttons are great. And if you want to jazz them up, you could probably slip a little gold thread in the spokes as it were.
I thought of the buttons more like sunflowers than sun burst (though the imagery is admittedly very similar). Great selection!
Don't you just love adding the finishing touches to a work of art? The buttons are beautiful!
Happy (early?) Birthday!
Ahhh, now I spotted you over here! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope it's a lovely one...
And the buttons really are perfect. Great find.
The buttons are GREAT - and what a terrific picture of them. :)
I hope you have a wonderful birthday - and don't worry about being 30, it gives you a certain cache. I swear. ;)
And yes, isn't Mrs. Bookish just fab?!
Thanks for the nice comment about my geranium socks. I saw your koigu sock picture today and now I MUST buy that yarn. Great job! And yes, wear them, wear them, wear them!
hey there, colleen. how you doin, girl?!? i'm sorry that i didn't get back to you about windows media player. as it turns out, i recorded two cd's beautifully. then, i began to type out a tutorial to you, and i couldn't remember how i did it. i kept trying to make a belle and sebastian cd for lolly lauren, and it kept saying "burn unsuccessful." fortunately the nero program my hubby bought came in two days ago, so i was able to use that. but still. i'm no help, and i'm sorry!
those are cool buttons! i think it's so cool that there's a button store. if i ever get up there again, i'll have to check it out. how cute!!
thanks for the birthday wishes. i hope you have a wonderful one yourself, dear!
great buttons...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
