A few days ago I posted a picture of some fabrics I found at G-Street. Remember the sweater knits? It dawned on me that one of those knits would make a lovely cardigan jacket like the one in View A. (I shudder at View B as it reminds me of a bath robe). Anyways, this pattern is now on my tracing/cutting table. My two sweater knits are being pre-washed. 
View A should be quick and easy to sew. I just need to decide which sweater knit to use. Hopefully, I can find a cool belt in my closet to go with it. I can already tell that I will need to shorten the cardigan length. The sleeve length (which will be a bit longer on me) should be fine. Maybe this will be the jump start I needed to start sewing with knits again. In other sewing news, I finished my doorway panel and hung it on the spring tension rod. It's working out great. I have my much needed privacy along with the much needed air flowing in and out of my room. I have to take a picture to show you what it looks like. That will be a new post for another day.

The cardigan will look great in one of those knits! Susan, be sure to be detailed in sewing with your sweater knits :) . I can't remember ever using a sweater knit and would appreciate any tips on sewing with that particular fabric and the seam finish you plan on using. So any details would be very helpful to me and much appreciated.
Hi Kat...will provide the details. Already started writing my sewing review for PR. Already started sewing my cardigan. It's turning out to be awesome...if I do say so myself. lol! Will be posting pictures along the way.
