I completely understand the importance of finding the perfect buttons for a knitting project. They are beautiful, and they match perfectly with your sweater.

I laughed about the cost of the buttons in comparison to the yarn …. The pompom on my hat is probably 2x the cost of the yarn ….. but I love it and always get compliments.

Love the new sweater and congrats on your weight loss …. Yay!!!

I have a few sweaters that I need to rework too. The red yarn is so nice.

Good choice. I did that once - I had a sweater I made that was never flattering, so I deconstructed and reknit the yarn. Looking forward to seeing how you repurpose it.

It may be a bit. I’m on sleeve island with that grey sweater.

Is that a Faery Ring? I have one of those half made. Same yarn, different color. Both sweaters and the buttons are beautiful.

It is (was) a Faery ring. It would likely have been flattering if I’d knit it to fit better.

Those buttons are gorgeous! Can you tell us how you refurbished the yarn? It looks brand new!
