Meanwhile here are some of the specs:
Pattern: Moch Cardi (moch means moth in Shetland dialect) A bottom up, seamless yoked cardigan with 3/4 length sleeves and body. Features a well known Shetland Lace pattern at the yoke with a hint also in the hem and cuffs.
Size: The above size is 35 inch chest shown with 1 inch of negative ease. I will be supplying a broad range of sizes.
Yarn: Jaggerspun Zephyr Silk (50% wool Merino wool/ 50% Tussah Silk), DK weight, 1120 yrds per cone. Approx 910 yrds used for this size.
This yarn is on the heavier side of DK than some out there. Some suggestions for substitutes:
Malabrigo Silky Merino
Jo Sharp Silk Road DK
Louisa Harding Grace silk and Wool
Rowan RYC Silk Wool DK
There are lots of others but I would recommend something with silk in it or something with good drape and stitch definition.
Gauge: 5.25 sts per inch on US#6 in Stockinette st

That is a cute pattern. Question: I may have missed this in your post but is it knit in the round? Silk is perfect for that style, it would drape perfectly. I love the few buttons just on the top.

Wow! I've been looking for a summer cardi pattern, and this is perfect! Don't mean to put too much pressure on but I was looking for a pattern to do for a trip that I'm taking in April. Do you have a general idea of when you will be posting the pattern?
