After seeing Cristi’s fly ass Central Park Hoodie, for which she deserves a round of applause, I was on the hate-orade. (HI, NORMA!!!) Realizing that my own CPH was sitting there only needing the freakin button and buttonhole bands, I whipped it out and got to it last night. I hope to finish it this week. Here’s an old pic of Alex modeling it for me:
The sleeves and hood are done. I went button shopping yesterday cuz, more hate-orade, I realized the buttons I had were cheap shits that wouldn’t do my CPH justice. I bought two sets of 6 buttons:
The top ones are flat, more ornate. The bottom ones have a little peak in the middle (not flat). I can’t decide!
YOU CHOOSE!!!

Looks like I’m alone in the top row love. Those are cool as hell!
I have already voted for the bottom row of buttons. That hoodie is fab-u. ~ksp
I like the top row ones, I think the swirl pattern is beautiful and you can see the details in the button more on these than on the others.
I love those top row buttons too. With the color of the yarn,, it just clicks.
Love the top ones!
Top row too. They’re snazzy…
But you realize you’re gonna have to model your CPH *in* CP right? 😉
I think you should use both.
I love the top row!
I’m all about the top row. And I’m gonna have to knit this damn sweater too. Eventually …
Hey..well I like them both, but going with the bottom row. Howevah! I wish I had your button shops!! I will be needing some silver buttons for my FLS. I’m jealous!
I must say, the top ones are my favorite. There’s a lot going on, but not too much. I thin they’re just right!
It seems everyone is divided. I think ultimately you will have to make the final decision. My vot eis for the bottom row of buttons, but honestly you can’t go wrong with either one!
I love ’em both, but lean toward bottom.
Where’d you get them? do they have more that sort of style?
I like the top ones, because I’ve never seen buttons like those before!
The bottom row gets my vote. The CPH is a textural piece, and deserves textural buttons imo.
I like both of them but I voted for the bottom ones (i think)
I don’t know how I would choose either. Both are wonderful. However, I think you should mail me the buttons that you don’t use!
