Why Coloured Buttons?

The German Jewish poetess Else Lasker-Schüler used to say that whether she was arranging coloured buttons or whether she was writing poems, it was all really one and the same. I always liked that comment.

It’s snow day over @chestnut_simple_play and her #holiday_simple_play tag⁣

So I couldn’t miss the opportunity to introduce you to my no-sew sock snowman. An original downunder snowman. and yes you read that right...NO SEW!⁣
⁣

This little fellow is perfect even if it doesn’t snow where you are...like in Sydney. I’m going to call him my no-sew sock surfer⁣...unless you have a better idea!

My mum knits these blankets from all the leftover balls of wool in her stash. What’s really amazing though is she unravels the strands on every ball and then combines 3 strands from different balls of wool to knit the squares!⁣
⁣
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔⁣

Tutorial for my birdie is on the blog. Search for Inga. Tutorial for the blanket? I’ll have to ask my mum 😀
