A Frontier I Don't Know What to do With
I have a little problem, one that is a first for me.
There's this sweater in the new Northstyle catalog that I like. It's long and swishy and I like its lines. See?
Not wild about the sequins, but otherwise I like it a lot.
But I don't want to buy it.
I want to knit it.
This is new ground for me as a knitter, people. And I'm not quite up to retro-designing it on my own, so ... what do I do? Try to find one like it? (Searching on Ravelry for a long knit cardigan for an adult brings up more than 5000 matches.)
Or ... what?
Whimper. Me wants it.

Ask in the ravelry forums. I think there is a group devoted to this kind of thing - "find me a pattern" or something. Or just ask in one of the main groups, they'll direct you.
Oooh, pretty! I like the sequins, myself.
I like.
Hrm, looks like it's some sort of ribbing. That would flatter a lot of figures, too.
I went to Patternfish -- it doesn't sort as well as Ravelry, but...
At any rate, if you go to my pinterest page:
http://pinterest.com/leslieileen/for-ccr-sweater-suggestions/
you can see some ideas for similar patterns. None are exactly the same but they'd give you a framework to work from.
