Sorry to disappoint you, Pip, but the something green is for the shoulders, not the head! More on this little project next week. *is a tease*

Thank you for the comments on yesterday’s button post. Rubbishknitter‘s comment reminded me about the stretchy buttonholes on the Peapod Baby Cardigan I knitted. I used tiny buttons in the size stated in the pattern and the blardy thing never stayed fastened and hardly got any wear as a result. And now it’s too small. *pouts*
I do like the contrast of the wooden buttons against the yarn, though, so agree with Kai that they are perfect in that respect! Yesterday I ordered new buttons a couple of millimetres smaller which have now arrived, but now that the cardigan is dry I might test the buttonholes for stretchiness first. Another case of watch this space.
