buttons, little Spring buttons…
Now that I’m done with one sleeve and over half of the first front of my Martha cardi, I can amuse and slack myself by once again pulling out the BUTTON BOX!
I love the multi-colored trims I’ve been seeing on many garments and am ready to take the plunge into extreme closure…
On the left you see the temptation: three different, brightly colored, vintage, (probably post WWII ?) novelty buttons. On the right, very modern, graphic 2k5 plastic buttons.
The design of the cardigan can flip either way – it is neotrad with a nice simple edge finish. I REALLY like those wild colored disks! I’ve had them for a long time and never really put them side-by-side but their diameters match (check), their saturations match (check) and they have a FOLLY all about themselves that make the sweater SMILE (check)! WHIMSY galore…
BUT the question remains – will I hate myself in the morning IF I freak out with all that COLOR!?
a couple of bags of really cheap Rowan All Seasons Cotton in the discontinued Safari color. WOOT! I’m feeling better already!
