hey, knitty/crafty peeps!

Anyone have a pattern/technique for creating custom closures? I just finished a scarflet which needs buttons, and a funky hat out of Noro blossom in coordinating colors. I'd love to use the Noro to make closures -- preferably something oblong/oval, because the holes in the lace are about dime-sized, and I think that has the best change of success.

The Noro is mostly animal fiber, so it should be feltable.

I know I came across a couple of *very* good directions on websites for 1800s frog closures a few years back. Unfortunately... wrong computer... and until I get a new computer, no access to the links I had. And I haven't made any myself in over 9 years, so can't remember the ins and outs.

If you want, I can check to see if anyone else on h-costume still has a bookmark for any of them.
