I want to knit this!!

So it's come to the point where I see a sweater in a catalogue and think, not I want that, but I want to knit that.

And it's this:


from the JJill catalogue. Any thoughts on finding a similar pattern? If you can't tell from the photo its a sort of shawl-y roll necky v- cardi. How about yarn suggestions?

Thanks!!

Oooh! That's cute!!

I haven't seen any patterns like that...but it is darling. Maybe try cardigan, knit, free pattern search on your favorite search engine? There's nothing like a google on a Thursday!

I can't here, my monitor is too dim.

How true is that! I spend ridiculous amounts of time seaching for patterns - but what better way to spend a cloudy Thursday!?

Thanks so much Rebecca!! I can't believe I haven't used that before ... there are so many nice things - it's just taking forever to load each page I click on ... I'm hopeful though! I sometimes wish I could design the things myself ... but that seems to require ....math!

Check out the kimono knitting book; it looks like a wrap-around kind of sweater, maybe you'll get some ideas there.

This is the closest I've been able to find but I will keep looking,

I know the yarn is wrong and the sleeves are wrong and, and, and, but it's changeable. Wish i knew how they did the neck edging. Is it just stockinet, knit straight and left to curl or a tube of some sort?

Here's another one that is close but I just wish i could find that neck line. It's so nice.

Ah, Hilde - that right - it is sort of kimono-y (that's a word, right?)

Thanks so much Mazie! That first one is pretty close! I think if done in a looser gauge so it's a little drapier. And I think if the neck edge was done at the end - pick up the stitches, do a couple rows in garter, then a few in stockinette to get it to roll a bit .... It might work!

You all rock!
