Babydoll Blouse by Bone Buttons (Corinna Baker)🍦

yarn: Isager Alpaca 1 in “Natural White” held with Ito Sensai in “Yellow”

note: this is my second time knitting this top and I’m so glad I did it with the ito mohair. It fits so much better and is so soft and light I absolutely love !!

Actually I'm going to go on a rant about sustainability right now

The demonizing of bones is one our great downfalls in society

Bones are so freaking useful

You can make needles, flutes, combs, hair pins, buttons, jewelry, and glue

But we demonized that, and it's not like a religious thing either

Or at least the initial demonization wasn't

Up until really modern times bones were just things you can use

In fact they were considered a nice material to use

Like whale bones were used for corsets, hence boning (obviously we don't want to keep hunting whales but we could scavenge the bones)

Everything we can use bones for has mainly been replaced by plastic

Plastic breaks easier and leaches micro plastics and other toxins 

If your bone hair comb breaks it can just get tossed without harming the environment

Edit:

I forgot they used to also make these bone brushes for softening and conditioning leather and those would get passed down from generation because they lasted so long and they just work better than any plastic can

Got some bone buttons in the mail today and I’m really hyped about it!!!! It almost feels like sacrilege to attach them to such a badly made shirt...
