green apple february baby sweater
July 18, 2008i took a break from my lady sweater to make the baby sweater it is based on. it’s a sample for a class i’m slated to teach at the the shop. i also delivered this bsj there for a bit.
ingredients:
recycled banana republic sweater – lambswool/nylon/cashmere
so soft and so baby
another totally fun and ingenious knit brought to you by Elizabeth Zimmermann.
now to the issue at hand… which buttons do i use?
sorry for the bad photo. the colors are more accurate in the top one.
i’m leaning toward the ones you see lined up here, but the card of little shiny olive green ones are tempting me. this sweater is so cute and old-timey that the little shiny buttons might have been made for it back in the day. i’m also quite enamored with the little flower at the top of the current row. hmmm. any opinions?
i love the tiny flower one at the top. i think it gives the sweater an old fashion look. By the way, great job on the sweater.
I like the smaller shiny green ones too!
Beautiful! I like the tiny flower button the best- it goes well with the lacy look of the sweater.
Oh, I love the smaller shiny olive ones the best! I think they would be perfect. I also like the little blue flower. I don’t care for the larger ones with this sweater at all. Very pretty sweater!! :)
The sweater is absolutely beautiful…and I think the little shiny olive buttons on the card are the cutest!
The flower is so sweet and has that retro vibe.
Cosy, I like the ones you have laid out on the sweater. Big buttons for tiny baby.
The flower button at the top is so nice and sweet. I also really like the tiny olive buttons on the card too, so I think either one would be suitable.
I think that the ones you have lined up already work beautifully on this sweet cardy..X
Ohhh… how about a whole buncha’ different green ones? Otherwise, I’m no help… I like all of them.
I like both the green types, but are slightly more in love with the smaller ones. I’m sure whatever you choose it will be wonderful!
Gorgeous sweater – and i’m terrible at picking buttons.
