I really love this sweater but can in no way justify the cost - PLEASE come and be rude about it and put me off!

Here it is

I keep drooling over it - not sure why I like it so much, I just do - even DH said "coo, she's - er, I mean that's nice"

But ONE HUNDRED AND TEN SMACKERS!

I recently bought this which looks slightly revolting in this pic, but the sleeves aren't so wide, and I can wear a similar colour long sleeve top under - warm & lovely! It's actually a lot nicer on than I thought it would be, and not anywhere near the price of the first link.

How does anyone wear these wider sleeved jumpers under a coat?

It's horrible!

Sorry - that was to the OP's one - not the M&S version!

They all look like things that gmtv presenter would wear, Kate Garroway is she called?
if I wore the first one it would be stained after a week.
It doesn't even look comfortable and not at a 100 quid!

Go to Zara
They have tons of nice knitwear to DIE for

I would worry that the cashmere one would end up at the bottom of the wash basket and never get used

Effie, I really liked that jumper and I feel you may have done my bank account some damage by luring me to that site - you are an evil genius

Funny, I love that Whistles coat but (a) I'm too short and (b) its £110

If we're into knitting this is very very popular among knitters and the pattern is free: february lady sweater

And so is this: drops sweater. Pattern here: drops

I have a vague feeling Sirdar have something similar as well if you're keen on this route...

Sirdar: pattern 9066

At least then you can pick a colour you like and make the sleeves as long as you like!

For that price - I would expect it to have a leeeetle bit more cashmere in it!

Lots here too: sirdar patterns

I have an 18-month old and I have a few cashmere sweaters (M&S Autograph). He's an exceptionally clean child though so think I must just be lucky!

Must say I love the White Company - I have several of their 3/4 sleev scoop-necked t-shirts and the quality and fit are great. I'm not overly keen on the cardigan in the OP though - just don't think it's a very flattering cut and the neckline would really annoy me.

Wide-sleeved, chunky-knit cardies are lovely and cosy and I did buy a couple last year, but found I didn't wear them that much as it wasn't often warm enough to wear them outside without a coat, and a coat on top was just too hot/bulky (and my coat was shorter than the cardie so looked dreadful anyway).

It's frumpy (the OP one)

Number one is horrible. Something my granny might wear, whilst leaning back on one of those doily things they put on the backs of armchairs.

Number 2 is OK, but that colour can be very hard to wear - can wash you out very easily.

Like the WC one, but {shock] at the price.

And it will show off a muffin top to great effect.

I bought a lovely merino wool long cardigan today (knee length and I'm tall) from a charity shop for $15 (about a fiver).

It looks brand new. No way is that first one worth 22 of my lovely merino.

It's quite bland for the money. I don't like the sleeves, the neck or the colour

THe black M&S one is nicest, I think. And less fattening.

you will spill spaghetti sauce/wine down it and it will be ruined, dont put yourself in that position.

It is ugly. You will look like a frump

Good enough?

looks like something my mother would wear (rude enough? )
