Red buttons!
In between taking notes on books I’ve read — or imagined I’ve read — from the 18th century (a good century for German literature, all things considered … you know, what with Goethe and Schiller and then the whole Romanticism thing), I finished up the second sleeve and got to the blocking.
This morning, I tackled the buttons. I do not like sewing on buttons, but I do like wearing new cardigans … so after a quick pro/ con list, I got busy. The red made it more enjoyable, of course.
Now, I’ve got to get back to the 18th century. In my new cardigan, of course.
Details and a modeled shot soon!

swoon. those cables! that stitch definition! and everything is better with red buttons. hooray for a new year and a new cardigan.
Oh, that looks cozy! I’ll take mine with purple buttons, please! (kidding, kidding…)
LOVE the buttons. Happy new year!
This is gonna be FANTASTIC.
I happen to adore those cables – horseshoe? They are the same ones that appear on the Bella Mittens. One of my favorite cable motifs ever.
And the red buttons – pure genius.
I love the cabling like the bella mittens. those red buttons really finish the cardigan! Can we see it on you??
I’m a big fan of Goethe and Schiller now actually. Don Karlos has become my favorite play ever. And obviously the buttons are a great choice!
