No doubt most of the knitting world has heard of if not already read this book, so I won't bore you. All I ask is that you leave a comment and suggestions for what to do with my 6 skeins (!) of Madelinetosh Pashmina in Composition Book Gray that I just acquired today. I don't have many sport-weight sweaters in my queue and I'd like some options. I'll do a drawing next Friday, June 4, for the winner. Thanks!

I've always loved the look of Connie Chang Chinchio's Printed Silk Cardigan

It says it's knit in DK weight 100% silk. If the Pashmina comes in 100gm hanks (doesn't say on website or Rav), then the yardage is similar to the yarn used for this pattern. I'd swatch it to see if I like the fabric at gauge with the Pashmina.
Good luck!
Wow! That yarn looks and sounds wonderful. I'd like to suggest Manu by Kate Davies. I have a stash of some sport-weight grey alpaca that I'm planning to (eventually!) make it with. Cute and classic cardigan with a pleated yoke and pockets!

Man, where have I been? I've not heard of that book. Guess I should look into it.
I don't have any ideas for that yarn as I'm not all that familiar with sport-weight yarn but I'm certainly going to check back to see what you decide on! That is some purdy yarn, thar :)
