buttons... I didn't know...

I didn't know how much I like to look at buttons, but HATE to sew them on.
I have ten of those orange and green buttons, but by the time I sewed one on, with a second button backing it, I didn't like them anymore.
So I did the six in front with stabilizing buttons on the back, because the sweater is unwearable without them!

One fancy button is enough, don't you think?   (The original plan was for each of the diamonds to have a button.  Forget THAT!)
