Vote!
I would like your opinion as to which buttons I should use for my Blissful Jacket. When my Mom was at my place this weekend, she showed me a new way of seaming the reversed stocking stitch that is the right side of the jacket, so last night I was unpicking the seams I wasn't happy with and seaming according to the way she showed me. Soon I will have to sew on buttons, and here are two sets I picked up at the Glebe Community Centre's Fabric flea market. The pattern itself calls for 1/2" (13mm) buttons, which is the size of the buttons on the right. You can't really tell from the picture, but there is a slight variation in colour between the two sets: the bigger ones on the left are redder, while the smaller ones on the right are a bit salmon-coloured. I am worried that if I choose the smaller ones, they will slip through the buttonholes when I don't want them to and that the jacket won't stay buttoned-up. What do you think?

I'd go with whichever buttons match the contrast colour in the sweater (which seems to be those on the left). You could always close up the buttonholes a bit if the buttons slip through.
I'm with Leanne!
BTW, another way to check - slip one button through the buttonhole - while still on the card - to see what it looks like. Sometimes the white card throws the colour off a bit.
