The stripy blue thing is currently blocking and I am in a quandary. Firstly, I should actually mention what on earth it is I am knitting! The pattern is the Little Coffee Bean Cardigan. After Mr B presented me with various balls of yarn the other week, it was clearly the perfect pattern to make stripes with. 
It’s a lovely design and I will write more about it in the FO post.
However, the problem is that I have buttons: 22mm or seven-eighths of an inch, as specified in the pattern. But I think they are too big. I like the idea of chunky buttons, but are these the wrong side of chunkiness? *ponders* It stands to reason that the buttons are letting me down yet again. I would sell my grandmother for a lovely button shop within decent travelling distance from my house 
where I could actually see how the buttons look held against the garment before I buy.
They haven’t been sewn on yet, anyway, so there’s no problem with changing my mind. Which I am 99% likely to do, as I don’t think they’ll fit through the buttonholes, either… 
… they are pretty buttons though…. and the pics with the pattern on the ravelry link have even larger buttons
I don’t think the buttons are too chunky, but they are the wrong colour (in my opinion). I would prefer grey or blue buttons, about the same colour as your yarn. These stand out too much.
love the colours of the stripes, and the buttons!
personally i think you should always err on the side of too big, with buttons, cos generally the buttonhole gets baggier with wear and the buttons start to slip through. I don’t mind a bit of a heave to get the button through when you’re putting the thing on in the morning, but you don’t want to be constantly fumbling with your fastenings all day!
I think the buttons look to be the right size
And you definitely want bigger when trying to wriggle Rose into the cardi! 
i think they are perfect.
