I finally finished my Cropped Cardigan, in Great Adirondak Silk, 2 skeins, from the pattern by Ann Cannon-Brown and Michelle Ciccariello here: http://secure.elann.com/ShowFreePattern.asp?Id=104024
I modified the pattern some, doing the raglan increases a bit differently to incorporate more of the lace pattern, and not switching lace on the sleeves. I loved doing the points on the hems, adding 3 triangle beads at each point, and crocheting along the edge so I didn't have to break the yarn at each point.
I plan to add some buttons to the front, but haven't found the right ones yet.
This yarn is so luxurious to knit with, I had to rush out and get more. I cast on for another sweater, which I plan to make longer, and used a different lace motif for the sweater. More later!

Jeri - this cropped cardigan is beautiful - it really helps to go to the full sized photos! Any chance you can take a photo of it with a black (or just dark) shirt under it? I think the lace would really photograph and show off that way!
Hey, Ddeirdre, thanks for looking! yeah, I must do a real shot sometime soon! MY eagerness won out over my judgement there!. Coming soon...and blue and purple and green make me happy, doncha know. LOL...
Do you give lessons?
Sure I give lessons! I have taught knitting in the elementary school, and teaching eight 4th graders at a time was some challenge! But lots of fun. I'm available this summer...
That looks just beautiful on you!! Wow!!!
L {heart} this pattern and have it bookmarked. I suspect it is beyond my talents for the present. Just lovely work.
