I am from europe and I am puzzled b/c the way you knit here is just too different, very slow and much more difficult. Inefficient. Even the buttonhole. My God, there is easier way to do it!
Thanks for this! I’m making seat belt covers for my daughters, and have been puzzling for about an hour on how to make this dang buttonhole. AWESOME! Thanks!

Your slow and clear instructions are so great for techniques like this which are sort of confusing until you see them. Thanks again – you don’t know what a help you are!
