So, this seems to be the most popular option. But I have another question, kittens: do I leave it as a cardigan, or convert it to a pullover to make it more like Cobblestone? I love that Garter Yoke is knit from the top-down, making it easy to get the fit right and it should be simple enough to convert and improvise as I go.

"The Best Laid Plans of Mice and…
bloggers, often go awry.” Or so the saying should have gone.
Here’s where the problem comes in. I can not decide what to cast on. I’ve been a little MEH about cardigans right now and am itching (haha!²) to do some pullovers. However, this yarn is not merino and has a bit of an itch factor to it. Not terribly bad, but just enough that I would not want it touching more sensitive areas of my body.
Garter Yoke Cardigan, Melissa LaBarre. I like the simplicity of the knit and it’s very similar to Mr. Tweed’s own Cobblestone Pullover pattern. So it seems fitting.
Heather Raglan Pullover, Cecily Glowik MacDonald. I really like this for the same reasons that I like the last one. It’s simple and would look fantastic in a tweedy gray. As a bonus, no button bands!
Then there is the option of free patterns. I’m trying very hard not to purchase additional patterns right now. I’m a collector of them.
This is from Coats & Clark, originally written for cotton. But I can definitely see it in gray tweed and it has potential. The simple lace pattern gives it some interest factor and would help prevent boredom while knitting.
