Suggestions, please?
Help!
Okay, so I reeeeally want to knit something up in Phildar Onde - and I need to buy my little stash before time runs out! BUT WHAT TO KNIT???
I really want to knit a simple cardigan, but I am having trouble finding one that suits Onde's gauge. Something along the lines of Bonne Marie's Ribby Cardie is what I would love - but that pattern in particular calls for heavy wortsed, which Onde is definitely not.
So, does anyone have any suggestions on a cardigan pattern for (i guess) an advanced beginner that would use this weight yarn? I leave myself at the mercy of my talented knitting community! Danke!

Why don't you order extra of the single color, and use it to figure out what gauge you get with the yarn, and then use those numbers to adjust the Ribby Cardi pattern? Once you know the measurements you want the sweater to come out to, you can use the gauge of the yarn to ... I'm rambling again. Figure out the number of inches of ribbing and stockinette in the cardi, then use the gauge for Onde to figure out how many stitches you'll need to do the sweater in Onde

I don't know what the guage is for Onde, but bpt from knitty is a pretty sweet little hoodie, and you could do it without the hood for a nice cardigan. It is a regular worsted.

OOOPS, it is in the winter issue. Accordion from the fall issue is a simple ribbed cardigan that has adult sizing if you scroll down the pattern far enough.
