What do you think of these buttons? I thought the geometric triangular shape would compliment the sweater well. Beige and black are a nice color combo, very vintage Chanel. The black buttons are one half inch. I found them on ebay from this seller. The clear glass buttons I bought last week ended up being a tad to large unforuntately by a quarter of an inch.
EDITED: Buttons arrived and were measured wrong and misdescribed as black when they are pewter on auction. Color would have been tolerable if size fit. I size my button holes off extra 1/2 inch buttons I had and these were way off! Check out this scan. Upsetting for such a nice shaped button, no?

I absolutely love the fact that you’re using vintage knitting patterns. I recently posted that I wanted to do the same thing for this year.Using those smaller needles sure takes up a lot of time!!
