I finally got buttons for this sweater!  The color looks a bit flat here, but it looks great in person.  I love the buttons.  They fit my requirement of not too plain and not too fancy.  It’s a simple sweater that needs simple buttons, but if they are too simple (plain, round generic buttons, for example), I think that the sweater would like too drab.   I am very happy with how it looks.  I just need to get out my stamps and cardstock and make a little card to go along with it.  And I better get it done fast, because little Emma is almost a month old already!
