One more to vote on

The voting on my last post is interesting because it's so clearly pointing to one design - the Sunburst cardigan. A reminder - it's this one:


Some comments are giving me pause, especially my wise cousin who notes that it's more gimmicky - well, she actually said I'd probably get sick of it faster than other, presumably more classic, designs. Good comment!  But I love Sunburst too. 

The thing is, I left one possible design out of my line-up!  I want you to tell me what you think of this one:

Adam's Rib by Carol Sunday


I would make it shorter. 

Opinions, please!

  3. I think Adam's Rib is also lovely - for the same reason as the Sunburst. It's got horizontal cables. Since you are a slender person, a slim-fitting version of the Sunburst wouldn't widen your frame - as horizontal cables are wont to do. But, if you do the Sunburst, make sure it fits very well in the shoulders and arms. If it's not really slimly-fitted there, the overall impact will be undercut.

  4. My vote is for Adam's Rib. I think the slim lines and neckline will be flattering on you and I love the overall stitch pattern. The Sunburst pattern is ok, but you will probably have to narrow the sleeves to make it flattering.

  5. I like Adam's Rib. I think it's a much more versitle sweater.

  8. oh dear, this reminds me of a game my daughter used to play. She would pick up two Barbies and say "this one or this one?". then two more Barbies etc, until you got to the final two :)…so this one or this one?? I like them both - which do you prefer?

  10. I find the sunburst gimmicky too. And the Adam's rib is probably on a waning fashion wave. I like the burdock best myself :-).

  11. I still prefer sunburst. It just suits you so perfectly. :)

  12. I like Adam's rib, but wonder if you would really wear it. I don't think Sunburst is gimmicky at all. In fact, the more tailored shape would probably get more wear in my wardrobe. YMMV.

  13. Sunburst looks like it would suit you. It also looks like a challenge you could tackle.

  14. Gee, I'm flattered that I got a mention for my comment on the Sunburst pattern! I much prefer "Adam's Rib" to the Sunburst. Although it has style, it wouldn't date as quickly, in my opinion. If you end up knitting this one, it will be very flattering I think. I just read the later post, where you talk about swatching for it. I need to comment there, too!
