| Nancy M you could also use a toggle with the loops |

| Doreen F Doreen from New Jersey shore areaâ¦Hello !!! |
| Pauline P Many thanks Cherie - appreciated. I've never heard of that term for knitting. |
| Cherie S Frogs are cords looped into knots so the loops are used for a button loop. (Can't really think of a better description.) |

| Matthew F its away |
| Joan W Matt - I am in NZ - east of Australia |
| Nancy M I'll try to remember...ð¤ |
| Donna B Zippers will pucker up when they're washed which is the shrinkage that happens so don't forget to press them flat when they're still damp |
| Matthew F want the map? |
| Maurie H You could put a zipper in with rhinestones |
| Karin R when using snaps I always knit a double band and insert some non-stretch fabric to buffer the ripping motion in opening the snaps, reduces wear and tear! |
| Pauline P We call them press studs in the UK! |
| Nancy M have done vertical bands just for the front bands in tubular knit and latched tooled it on by dropping a stitch or 2 snd latching it to the body. |
| Cherie S You can always use snaps instead of trying to figure out buttonholes! |
| Maurie H Terry that one sounds great. will have to go on the site and see that. |
| Terry S I just watched your tutorial last night and loved the one you showed with full needle rib with borken toe cast on. I'm going to use it on my next garment. |
| Maurie H I love that green one. |
| Matthew F we can do the map anytime |
