The good news
I found some buttons that I think will work for my cardigan. I ordered them from Earthenwood Studios; you can look at them here. I chose the pill shape, the berryleaf pattern, and the amethyst color. I think the color is just the right purpley-brown to work with the Middlebury sweater.

The bad news
Since the buttons are made to order, they could take as long as three weeks to arrive. I think this is entirely reasonable, given what’s involved in their creation, but still. Three weeks.

Meanwhile, I set in the first sleeve all over again this morning. It looks better now. And I’m making progress on sleeve number two. I have an hour-long meeting tomorrow, and I bet I’ll finish the cap before it’s over. Then I can finish the seaming and weave in the ends to get the sweater ready for the arrival of the buttons.

Sorry, no pictures today — but I have a suprise I’m saving. I’ll post some pictures and good news later this week!
