I want a new dressy-ish lightweight cardigan. For years, I wore plain cotton cardigans from Land's End. I had a navy blue one and a magenta one and loved them both, but eventually they wore out. I currently have a yellow cable cardigan from Eddie Bauer, but I don't love it. It doesn't seem to have enough body, so it just droops in front, and I can never seem to get the shoulders to sit right. Since I can knit more sweaters than I need, I decided to try to knit the sweater I really want to wear.
I'm not sure that this yarn is the best choice for this sweater, but I'm going to give it a try. I didn't knit a swatch, but I'm thinking of doing that before I get too much farther, just to make sure I'm knitting the right size (although the projects I found on Ravelry noted that gauge didn't change much after washing).
