I think I need knitwear, a cardigan - any advice?

[pointydog]

I have about four horrible cardis, all of them given to me by my mother over the years. I don't like any of them but I have recently realised that I need a pretty cardi for summer and it struck me that I have never bought one before.

Fine knit, a pretty colour but strong rather than pastel, not a round neck (not flattering), feminine, not fancy as I want to wear it with anything.

I have just browsed french connection and the dread boden but seen nothing of interest.

how much do you want to spend?

[Lilymaid]

Anything like this? Sorry, I will admit to being deeply unfashionable!

[pointydog]

I am back from being very domesticated in teh kitchen.

Spend - I'd balk at over £50, I think.

That sort of thing, lily, yes. But a little touch of funky spark would not go amiss.

I found this earlier on white stuff, which is similar to lily's but I like the edge of the sleeves and a deep scoop neck is quite nice. I do like a broad waist band which these haven't got.

have a look at whistles sale. i got a lovely purple sparkly thing a few years ago.

you could take up crochet!

[BadgersArse]

[WouldYouCouldYouWithaGoat]

[pointydog]

[pointydog]

[pointydog]

you can't see tesco clothes online - am I right?

[WouldYouCouldYouWithaGoat]

might be a generous size? i like the buttons on the sleeve.

[pointydog]

hmm, yes, been looking at next and this looks pretty good

[pointydog]

would have to be very generous, goat, in my current porker state.

Shame, I do like it

[BadgersArse]

teh tesco ones are close fitting
one of mine is an 18 and doesnt look huge

[moondog]

I want one of those fine knit ones with long flowing bits at the front. V nice over summer frock or linen trousers.

[woodenchair]

Wallis has some nice knitware on their website mixture of fitted and floaty
Can't do links on my ipod though sorry

[TheProgRockGoat]

moondog i have one like that i call it my 'whooooooooo' cardigan on account of me fluffing up the flowy bits and going 'whoooooooo' every time i put it on

[brimfull]

[KristinaM]

h and m have v neck cotton cardis in bright colours for £10

their sizes are very small on the bust so you would want a large or extra large

i have bright pink, purple and lilac ones

[GirlsAreLoud]

[tinseltot]

same one came up several times sorry!

[moondog]

Where did you get it Prog?

[pointydog]

tinsel, that just made me think that I haven't been into an oasis or warehouse since I was in my 20s. I always think of them as young people's shops.

[pointydog]

hmm, they are a bit youngish for me
