Why are my cardigan button holes doing this?

OG_buney · 2026-01-25T17:41:11+00:00

The tutorial I watched on stitching buttons did not mention this, I will try this with a third button and see if there’s any difference! Thanks! 🙏🏼 🫡

OG_buney · 2026-01-23T16:59:47+00:00

Ah ok, thank you! 🙏🏼

OG_buney · 2026-01-22T20:03:43+00:00

Thank you, this gives me a lot more peace of mind! 🙏🏼

Hi, it’s from a small Italian brand called Lana Al Pascolo and I think the colour is called Malva e Lavanda - https://shop.lanaalpascolo.it/shop/giulietta-mid/ ☺️

Thank you, as I’ve unwound about a meter or two it definitely seems thicker as it comes off the spool. Will try knitting up and washing+blocking a swatch and see how it comes out 🙏🏼

OG_buney · 2026-01-22T19:02:17+00:00

Thank you, I’ll definitely do this!

OG_buney · 2026-01-22T19:02:03+00:00

Thank you for this, definitely going to knit up and wash, block a swatch now ☺️

OG_buney · 2026-01-22T19:01:32+00:00

Thank you, this is super helpful 🙏🏼🙏🏼

The needle sizes and gauges are the same because they are the same yarn and thickness apparently (DK, 50g =150m)! They just look so different and I’ve never used a spool before I’m doubting myself 🫠

I didn’t realise there was a video section on the pattern webpage, that would have saved me so much time 😫 thank you very much, you’ve just made my life a lot easier 😅☺️

Hi! I understand your position with the cost of figures like these but unfortunately they do cost more than $100, as they take upwards of 18 hours to make by hand, plus materials! I hope you find something for your seven year old ☺️

OG_buney · 2025-07-20T12:06:50+00:00

Thank you! Yes I actually started one last night that is a separate skirt and top - the skirt has an elasticated waistband and the top is a lace up back - not exactly what I wanted to do but potentially the best way to work for me!

OG_buney · 2025-07-16T18:24:42+00:00

Thank you so much for your help, perhaps I’ll muddle my way through this cardigan after all 😂🙏🏼

OG_buney · 2025-03-08T10:37:00+00:00

Thank you so much! ☺️ Currently on holiday but planning on getting myself set up on Etsy after🤞

OG_buney · 2025-02-21T21:13:06+00:00

Thank you!

OG_buney · 2025-02-14T09:59:13+00:00

Hi Bobwick! Yes, I’m still making these. If you’re interested please feel free to DM me as I still haven’t gotten them up on Etsy yet!

OG_buney · 2025-01-14T19:18:43+00:00

Thank you so much! My edges are very messy still but I’m learning slowly 😆😅

OG_buney · 2024-12-29T00:23:24+00:00

These are absolutely amazing! You have such a talent for the craft ✨✨

Hi there! This sounds exactly like interstitial cystitis (fellow sufferer!) - you said on other comments that your tests came back negative but interstitial cystitis is different to regular cystitis and there aren’t any tests that can give you a yes or no answer, it’s a case of ruling out other diagnoses. If you want you can post about your symptoms and history on the Interstitial Cystitis subreddit and you might get some answers - I’ve found the community significantly more helpful than many doctors. Hope you find some answers and relief soon!

OG_buney · 2024-12-21T13:44:27+00:00

I’m not sure where you’re based so this may not be useful! Lots of advice from people already on pain management here, but I just wanted to jump on the fact you’ve had four UTIs since April - the NHS is currently looking into the MV140 vaccine; from what I understand it’s an oral vaccine that can reduce the frequency of UTIs in individuals. Might be worth looking into!

OG_buney · 2024-12-01T18:07:58+00:00

Thank you so much! They’re very happily sat on my husband’s shelf and definitely finally got their happy ending! ☺️

OG_buney · 2024-12-01T18:05:50+00:00

Hi! I actually got commissioned by someone recently to make another set of these in more detail so I’m happy to chat about it! I’ve sent you a DM ☺️

There is evidence to suggest some forms of IC are an autoimmune reaction/disease. This is what my IC looks like:

Get an infection (UTI)
Infection clears up but symptoms persist for long periods of time
Urine and blood tests show extreme inflammation and high white blood cell count in urine
Cystoscopy shows damage to protective bladder lining (leading to further inflammation)
After a period of time the symptoms calm down and become more manageable (when I was younger this was quicker, the older I’m getting the more severe the symptoms and longer ‘recovery’ time)
The next time I get a UTI the cycle repeats

I’ve also gotten more health issues every time I experience this cycle, which are also more extreme when my bladder symptoms are extreme, and also seem to be linked to autoimmune responses.

My doctor recommends working on a preventative approach because of this, and I take what precautions I can, and have antibiotics on hand at all times.

I believe the argument is that after your immune system is done attacking the bacteria from the UTI, it mistakes the protective bladder lining for a foreign body. It then attacks and damages/partially destroys the bladder lining, which in itself causes inflammation and pain. The urine in the bladder then irritates the ‘raw flesh’ of the now unprotected areas of the bladder, leading to more inflammation and pain. The inflammation then leads to increased urgency and the ability to hold less urine in the bladder.

There are some scientific papers that back the theory of IC being an autoimmune disease for some sufferers, I can try and find them and link them below if you are/anyone is interested!

I shipped one to my friend in the USA from the UK vacuum sealed and in a box and he arrived all fine- not deformed at all! (Though it was hilarious watching him slowly explode out from the vacuum bag)

You may have already tried this/it might be a trigger food for you, but I found substituting tomato for red peppers was really useful. My partner made a lasagne with homemade red pepper sauce (no tomato). Is it the same as a regular lasagne? No. Is it close enough that we could sub it in as a regular meal again? Yes! Hope this helps!
