Button Quest
Thanks to everyone for their opinions on buttons for CPS. Many people seemed to think that wooden buttons would be nice. I agree, but I haven't been able to find any in the stores that I like, and I'm not quite ready to order any.
I got a few recommendations of other online button resources: Lace Heaven and Couture Buttons.
Friday, I went and got a new selection of buttons. Saturday, I brought the sweater and the buttons to K2P2 and got the sage advice of the knitting deities there.

I've already decided on one of these six. See if you can guess which one.
I think the latest buttonholes will fit; if they don't, I'll just have to keep trying until they do. Maybe it's time to do some research on buttonholes.

I think you've settled on the button in the upper left corner.

Hmm. I'm thinking bottom left, maybe bottom right? PS - hope you don't mind - I mentioned your sweater over at my site :).

I have to go with Mary Beth - bottom left. Dark and unobtrusive, but with a hint of that gold that's also in the sweater, for interest.

There's also Exquisite Fabrics on K St. It's a small place, but a wonderful selection. And you'll always get good advice from them.
Nice selection there, I'm glad you've made your decision because I couldn't.

I'd choose top right...but what do I know ? :0)
I'm glad you've chosen and that you're happy.I'm really looking forward to seeing this modelled - headless if you must ! ;-]
It's a beautiful piece of work.
