Back in the fall of 2008 I made this sweater.
It was probably the best sweater I had made at that point. However, I hardly wore it, due to the terrible choice I had made in buttons. Those little cheap black plastic toggles I had on there didn't keep the sweater closed well. They actually stretched out the sweater as they popped open. They also didn't look great with the material and color. I decided not to wear the sweater until I found better buttons for it.
Then I forgot about it . . . until we moved. I went searching for better buttons but wasn't finding any good options, until a friend offered to make me some.
The buttons are just the right fit for the sweater. Since they were made by hand from antler they all have the same basic shape but each one is unique. The sweater stays closed and the buttons compliment the color and material far better than the previous ones.
More pictures to come when I have better lighting and have mastered using the new camera (these pictures were taken on my old one).
