As you know, I've got a pretty decent button stash. So about mid-week I laid the cardigan on the floor, hauled out my jars and started the hunt.
But alas, there were no buttons for the cardigan. The only thing I had in the right quantity (I needed six) were plain clear dome buttons. BORING! I had some pretty pearl buttons that were just perfect, but I only had three.
As luck would have it, I got a text from Mom on Thursday, asking if I'd like to accompany her on a little shopping excursion. I never turn those down, and since of one the destination was Walmart, I knew I'd be able get some pearl buttons in the proper amount at the very least.
And I did... but then our excursion took us down Ottawa Street... and to my favourite button and notion store. They have a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge colour coordinated wall of buttons and....
At first I was all for the flower, but the more I look at the diamond, the more it grows on me... I think it has a delicate elegance that matches the cardigan.
Of forget it! I'm going to let Burton decide!

I think the heart is a lovely button, but it is overwhelmed by the yarn.
The other two are much more suited to the yarn, and I like diamond the best, but flower is beautiful too.
I'm sure Burton will make the right choice.
P.S. I got punched in the nose tonight and I almost adopted the little puncher. It was the cutest little tuxedo kitten and he was jealous I was petting the little kitty in the condo below his. So, he PUNCHED me . . . right in the face!!!!
I didn't think to take his photo, but trust me .....he was majorly adorable!!! (Steve, the big meanie, said no to another cat!) LOL
I am voting for the diamond all the way. I think you are right it adds elegance and you should not "see " the buttons as far as I am concerned If they are to defined they take away from the beautiful knitting, they should just blend in.
Smart choice letting Burton decide.
Button! That kitten is a button. I hope his eyes remain that yellow !
Look at that cute little imp. I don't know how you get anything done when he's around. My cats don't bother my work but Daughter's drive me crazy grabbing at my yarn and all.
What a cute assistant! He will need regular visits to the button stash now!
I like the diamond button, too. I rarely choose cute (like the heart) but the flower is more casual-this cardi is too classy!
THat sunflower is going to be amazing. Enjoy.
