Bit More Cadbury//WIP Wednesday

The sweater is nearly finished, it's so close!!! I've knit all the owls (22 of them) and they are super cute, I haven't found buttons yet but I'll take the sweater to a store once it's finished to figure something out - I'm stuck on the colour though, white or brown? Ideas??
 What do you think of the short sleeves? I'm really happy with them. My MIL has bought me the yarn to make another owl's sweater later in the year:
It's quite a quick post from me today; Robbie moved to special education this week so I'm taking Holly (our pygmy hedgehog) into his class this morning. Plus Kris has chicken pox, so we're trying to keep him as busy as possible!!
As usual I'm playing along with Ginny and Tami; what are you working on this week?

PS - I won't be sharing the sweater on FO Friday this week; I'm dog-sitting and working on a very special design project.

    If it's a choice between white or brown, I'd pick white. But how about grey or purple?

    I think white as well, but I am sure there are some other really nice colors of buttons available at the store :-) If you bring it in you will find something! And I love the cap sleeves, I think they look great!

    Both would look nice but white would go better with the Cadbury theme. I like the gray suggestion from ^Una too. Looks great!

    I love the short sleeves - as for buttons how about more purple? A Darker shade?

    love the color! I think you will know which buttons once you see them. Frequently I have an idea of what I want for button color only to buy something completely different.

    I love your owls sweater, and the colour you have knit it in! I think the best thing to do about the buttons is to take it to the shop with you and hold different ones up to it. You might find you like a colour you hadn't even considered.

    One starting special ed, another with chicken pox - you have your hands full alright. Love the sweater and the short sleeves are very cute. I'd opt for white buttons or even a sapphire blue.

    I think the short sleeves look great and I really like the design around the neck line. Good luck with your button search.

    I hope everyone else avoids the chicken pox!
    Your sweater looks fantastic. I like the idea of purple or gray buttons though black or white would look good too. The short sleeves are really cute!

    Chicken pox is awful - I still remember having them, about 45 years ago. My sympathies to the patient and family! Love the purple owls!

    Great work! I like the idea of white as well, but it all depends on what you find at the store and what speaks to you. The real question is: how do you manage to not constantly crave chocolate with the constant Cadbury reminder? I would be desperate!
