Decisions, decisions.

10 Jun

I’ve finally finished sewing together the Undercurrent cardi (maybe half an hour ago), and now it’s time for buttons. But which ones?

A couple of years ago, Tech Support picked up a drawer full of assorted vintage buttons at a garage sale, and we sold the vast majority of them on eBay, but not before I bogarted all the best ones, among them a whole whack of natural shell ones. I have known from the very beginning of this cardi that they were just the thing, but now I’m at the point where I have to make a decision:

Big or small?

They are much less yellow in real life – more ivory flecked with pink and grey.

My heart says big…

… but my head says small.

So I’m putting it to you, my lovelies. Leave a comment and make up my mind for me. Then I can sew on the buttons and take some pics and be on to the next cardi.
