sometimes I only watch...

to see what they are wearing!! did you catch ‘The Good Wife’ last night? I have been very conflicted about this show lately and haven’t decided whether to quit it or not – well, it’s not like there’s a whole lot of other good drama to replace it but the plot has definitely run to the rails in my opinion. But right near the end of last night’s episode, where Alicia is having a bit of a heart to heart with Owen (her brother – I ‘ve missed him), she has on a pretty cool sweater – most of her work wardrobe is a little too stark for me, but it does suit her – but I’ve been thinking about that cardigan all day and, luckily I have it on my PVR/dvr (whatever you call it, where you record the show) and I’ve watched it over a couple of times – the fronts looks like two fairly solid pieces, just sort of long rectangles, maybe in a ribbed, flat stitch, like a longstitch so it looks like stockinette, but is two-sided so when the ‘lapel’ folds back, it’s finished, no closures. The back is shorter by about maybe 4 inches or so and has a deep, ribbed band at the bottom, just below the waist, with soft looking stockinette for the rest of it – maybe shaped at the side seams to pull in the front for a bit of fit. The sleeves are snug, fitted, set-in, of soft stockinette and the yarn is likely cashmere or at least alpaca, but it’s a standard gauge knit, I think…I have some Misti Alpaca lace weight that I may just play around with…I could use it single stranded for the ribbed part and double stranded for the stockinette...maybe between sleeves of the LK thing...I've got red, black, camel, and ivory...
