oh yes. The buttons are superb – a lovely addition to what I think is a really good, really interesting knitted garment!

Very nice! And angora is always such a nice yarn choice, even though it is quite a mess to work with. I always am excited to see a finished project from one of my patterns.

Regarding fixing up the collar, the bound off edge is actually supposed to be sewn to the sweater so you have a nice clean edge. If you picked the stitches up instead of knitting the collar separately, it will give you some “stair steps” at the edge. If you sewed them on, and you felt like taking out the seam, you just need to flip the collar around. Either way, you could maybe even try a single crochet edge to smooth things out all the way around, being careful that you keep the stretchiness of the rib intact.

That looks like the perfect combination of warm and cooling. I can’t explain why that’s a good thing, but it is!
(and the grey is divine )

It’s lovely! The colour is so subtle and pretty, and you’re right about the buttons – I think Hyperbole Lane is entirely appropriate. Buttons maketh the cardigan, after all.
Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell – hope you had a chance to sample some of those delicious looking local hot cross buns at some point, though!

I so love your cardi. And the buttons. Oh my. I could marry that lady from Buttonmania. She is tops, isn’t she? And such a button collection!

Hope you are feeling a lot better, and that the Easter break ends better than it started!
