buttons

buttonmania, a fabulous button shop in the nicholas building, melbourne, made these gorgeous buttons for me from japanese cotton. they match the colour of the merlot jacket perfectly.
the jacket is coming along, i'm knitting up the left front panel, the back and sleeves are finished, although i'm in a bind with the front right panel because it is supposed to have buttonholes. i do have options, but i'll figure out precisely what i'm going to do when i've finished knitting the left panel.
