I learned to make them quite a few years ago, taught by a WSD friend who always made a set for every item that she knitted. She maintained that if she'd spun the yarn and then spent ages knitting it up that it ought to have a special set of buttons to finish it off. I have a box of them somewhere so you've spurred me on to go and hunt them out!
