Subway Knitter ...not afraid to knit in public
Here's my Softwist Cardigan swatch drying on my blocking board. I must tell you that I love the color of this yarn, and I especially love that single, shiny rayon thread going through each strand.
Essentially it's a sample of the how the left (to the wearer) front of the sweater will look. The ribbing for waist shaping on one side, Annie Modesitt's knitted i-cord edging (my finishing discovery of the year) on the other, and everything starts off from the zig-zag rib on the bottom. The angular nature of the edging harmonizes with the twisted stockinette. I like it!
Once this swatch dries, it will be time to take some measurements and figure out the pattern.

You are so good. I'm generally just so excited to start something new that I don't put as much time into the planning/tinkering part as I should.
I agree - the edging matches the twisted stockinette *very* well - excellent choice!
Looking good! I've said it before, I'll say it again - oh the math!
I think it looks awesome - so impressive. Where'd you get the zigzag rib stitch pattern from?
It's beautiful! Can't wait to see the finished cardigan.
