I'm done with the Gramps sweater! I finished all the knitting about 2 weeks ago but I didn't have a chance to make the hike out to the fabric store to get buttons until yesterday. I prefer to go on the weekends so I don't have to bring Drew, but he was a champ! Such a sweet, patient boy.
It took me a looooooong time to choose buttons. They just have so many options there and I didn't really love how any of them looked on the sweater. As I've said before, I think button choice is really important because it can really change the look of the sweater. I wasn't sure if I wanted a button that just blended in with the sweater or one that stood out. I ended up going with a dark gray button that has a splash of light gray in the center.
The good thing about buttons is that they don't have to be permanent. If I find ones I like better down the line, I can always replace them! For now I just want him to start wearing this sweater before it gets too warm out!

I like the buttons you chose, kelly, they look just right! Kind of vintage style, like a 'gramps' would have!
