the blue blog archives: button switch

Although I love those little Peter Rabbits, I just thought that the white was too much against all the blue. I like the smart, clean look of the blue buttons much better on this jacket. Hey, did you notice that I added the collar? Now I get to wash the thing again. And get to see how much that sleeve shrinks up.

Beautiful! As always, your attention to details is inspirational.

I wonder what the Peter Rabbit buttons *will* end up on....Who says you can't plan an entire project around a great set of buttons? :)

I agree with you about the buttons. It looks really great so far! Now you just need to plan something else to use the buttons with!

I think that's a good switch. And now more of that fun washing :)

The Peter Pan buttons were "lost" (much better on a solid, pale sweater)on the sweater -- the solid buttons do not compete w/the stripes on the sweater!

the geometric mix of blue stripes and blue dots is way cool!

I love the blue bottons on that sweater. Very nice choice!

I agree with Linda--those buttons really deserve a project planned just for them. The sweater looks great.

excellent choice. i'm sure the peter rabbit ones will find a good home.

I like the graphic look of the simple, blue buttons -- they fit the feel of the sweater. Collar's looking good, but I'm really curious to see if the sleeves will fit after washing!?

I definitely prefer the blue buttons & I hope the sleeves shrink just so for you!

The blue buttons do add a more classic look. I like the switch.

The sweater is so adorable. I like the button choice as well. Can't wait to see it finished.

Love it love it! I like the blue buttons better too, though the rabbits are super cute!
