As promised (but unmodeled) here is the Lion Neck Cardigan from Custom Knits. I made the 2nd smallest size, and it looks much better on than it does on the dress form. I haven't put the crochet chain ties on it, as I'm not sure I want to put them on at all. I think I would probably just wear it open or close it with a shawl pin or something. This was a super quick knit, using some RYC Soft Tweed from stash. I actually didn't make ANY modifications on this one except to start the sleeve ribbing 5" from the desired sleeve length rather than paying attention to when they said to start it.
I'll model it in the fall or when we have a cool day!
Robin this is REALLY pretty!!! I didn't glance twice at this pattern in the book and NOW I want to knit it!!!
