I got enough of Noro Silk Garden (col 239) for a cardigan. Different then the tweedy grey that I was thinking for the cardigan, however I had decided to find the yarn then choose the pattern from my narrowed down list.
Since this is very different then what I was envisioning I need to switch gears with the pattern, since I don't want horizontal stripes. I have decided on using mitered corners in the cardigan to get vertical stripes. Similar to the Blueberry/Marmalade cardigan by Maureen Mason Jamieson (without the slip stitches).
My gauge swatch is drying and then I have a bunch of measurements to do before starting a ton of calculations.

I take it the fair was a good time? Was the yarn just a purchase or a birthday present to yourself? I really like the cardigan idea. It will look quite smart with the mitered edges. Do check into Elizabeth Zimmerman - she worked with mitered squares a fair bit and might have some advice for you.
I will post, I will post, but I am knitting a really project. It's red and Sunrise-y and Circle-y. We loves it.
