I know it’s too late and you’re here and have already sewn your buttons, but I’ll still vote for the small ones! Because I can. They are both cute, though. I’m so glad you’re in town!

i vote for smaller, bigger buttons make it look more like a kid’s sweater.

i met you in ny, maybe last time you were here?

maybe i’ll see you again if you come to the point

I like the non geometric ones. Just a personal thing.

Here’s the trick to remembering men’s vs. women’s buttong overlaps. Imagine a guy and a girl in the car. The guy–of course–is driving. (This isn’t how I live my life, just ba mnemonic I use.) If the peek out of the corners of their eyes at one another, they each have a chance of sneaking a peek at each other-s skin if the buttons are gape-y. In other words, for women the half on the wearer’s right is on top; for men the half on the wearer’s left is on top. Just imagine teen-agers giving each other the eye and you’ll remember.

I’d have to go for the smaller buttons. Mainly because you seem to want the black button on the white button band, and the larger buttons seem to encroach on the black stripe. Picky, I know, but these are the silly little things I would think of were it my sweater! Plus I like the square within a circle detail and do think it echoes the mitred corners. The sad thing about it is we knitters are the only ones who will ever notice these tiny details that cause the knitter so much turmoil and distress! Good luck and love the Rorshcach!

The smaller one. Period. I think it goes with the jacket much better. The black strips on the jacket make right angles, and the geometrical line stuff on the bigger buttons clash with the black strips because they are varied angles.

I can’t wait to see this jacket finished! So now I must add a rss feed of your blog to my watch page, and I declare myself officially fan of your blog and your knitting.
PS.: I made a master in art history, so your post about art just delighted me. Keep going!

I vote for the smaller ones. I don’t think the round button should overlap the rectangular black stripe. The smaller buttons appear to stay on the white vertical stripe only. Good luck and have a safe flight!

I vote for the smaller, square-laden ones.

I like button #1 definitely. There is something about the geometry of #2 that is too much for my tastes. That sweater is HOT. And I love your new ‘do also, just forgot to comment and tell you that them! )
