Nothing at all to do with knitting….but something that makes me very happy-Ī little early this year, but these red cups make me smile. And they went perfectly with that cardi also! Button deja vu…. I used these exact buttons on my Nuss cardigan, finished in March of 2010. Now as I am loving these buttons, in the back of my mind I am thinking that they are very familiar……did I see them here before, in a previous dig? noooooo, they are more familiar than that….Then it comes to me…. Triumphant, I hold up my 2 button cards and go the the register. But I need 4,so I hope and dig some more. The woman at the counter encouraged me to dig! Oh- and the buttons were 50% off. The mills come out with new weaves two to three times a year, and there’s no limit to the patterns, colors, and styles. But I knew that they still have a box of odd lot buttons, and I was willing to dig. As a matter of fact, they stopped carrying buttons a few years ago. Freddy Farkels Fabric Showplace offers custom upholstery services, slipcovers, cushions, and window treatments. But it still needs a bit of blocking:įreddy Farkel’s is not known for their buttons. But it is complete, I love it, I love the Madelinetosh Pashmina that I made it with(Corsage colorway). There were a few bumps along the way, that I discussed on our podcast, Ladies of the Knit. Freddy Farkel’s is near my house and very near my workplace, so when I need fabric, or in this instance, buttons- I go first to Freddy Farkel’s.īecause- I finally finished my Fall Away Cardigan. But Freddy Farkel’s has a more staid identity online- Fabric Showcase– the sign outside says ‘Freddy Farkel’s, happily. Visit us at our New Location for the same great service and specials Enter 114 Walnut St. I really like going to Freddy Farkel’s, but I LOVE saying the name! Freddy Farkel’s.
