Meglet Jun 2017 9:43pm, 4 Jun 2017 18,078 posts	0 Meglet Yes I think they have to do classes and socials because selling yarn doesn't earn much, espresso when it's cheaper online.

HellsBells Jun 2017 2:40pm, 10 Jun 2017 22,658 posts	0 HellsBells Quick question crafters. If you're knitting a cardigan for a baby of unknown gender, which side would you do the buttonholes?
Velociraptor Jun 2017 2:48pm, 10 Jun 2017 36,329 posts	0 Velociraptor I'd put them on the left. People tend to be less bothered about putting a girl in boys' clothes than about putting a boy in girls' clothes

icemaiden Jun 2017 7:10pm, 10 Jun 2017 4,795 posts	0 icemaiden I'd put them on the side the mum will find easiest to do up when dressing the baby. So as a right handed person I would prefer to have the holes in my right hand, the left side as the baby is wearing the cardigan.
