I recently finished the Raindrop Cardigan from Connie Chang Chinchio's Textured Stitches book. This is a great pattern. The finished cardigan fits well. I wish I'd made the sleeves about 2" longer or shorter, but it's not a big deal. I have super long arms, so I'm used to scrunching up sleeves.
I chose a 100% pima cotton to knit this to keep it from being too warm for Florida. The weight turned out perfect for our cooler days, but I do have some trouble getting the collar to behave without the body of a wool. Just something to think about.
Here is my Ravelry post.

Beautiful!
Beautiful! I'm on my first cardigan, wish me luck. Also, your hair - I hadn't realized it's so long again. Are you keeping it like that? I loved the short hair on you, but that's just me ;-) !
Pretty! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the back!
So very pretty! Nice job!!
Lovely cardie - such neat knitting! I too have long arms. In fact, I've got so used to having bracelet length on sleeves, I tend to knit them that way on purpose now!
