In our second episode of January, we remember and recognize that
it is our second anniversary of producing this podcast. As we enter
year 3 of podcasting, we have one small request. Would you give us
an iTunes rating? You can do this
in two ways, either by clicking to give us a "star" rating, or by
writing a review. We hate to ask, really we do, but it would be
nice to see our podcast appear in some of the lists and
recommendations. If you feel so inclined, we would appreciate
it.
Gayle and I end the podcast this week with a fun discussion about
buttons and how to use buttons to enhance our garments as knitters
and crocheters. It is fun and hopefully will inspire you to search
for the perfect button for your fiber creations.

We have a brief chat about buttons, our button choices, and how
we personally choose buttons. We mention a few things to be aware
of when button shopping. We hope you have something to add to the
button discussion. Join us over on Ravelry!
The buttons pictured here are from my mom's button jar and
particular favorites with which I loved to play as a child. I have
memories of sorting by color, counting, and making up games with
buttons. I had favorite buttons that I would search for again and
again. The button jar was a favorite amusement of mine.
