ABC buttons

A nine-hole button: it's a simple idea, which allows you to configure your stitches cunningly, and spell out any letter of the alphabet. How about your child's name on a cardi or coat, or simply a line of buttons on a hat or hem, spelling out the message of your choice... Ok, there's a slight air of accessorised-to-the-edge-of-madness about it, but I can still see the appeal. Now when will they bring them out in brighter colours?
