...what lace pattern did you end up using? *full of curiosity*
Also, may I call you 'friend' on Ravelry? I just signed up recently.

as to Ravelry.....
sure! i will eventually log in and eventually remember to friend you back... this can take a while.

i ended up using a grouping of 11 i saw. mind you i had to reverse it, its meant to be knitted the opposite direction

(over 11 stitches)
1 and all odd rows Purl
2 k2tog, yo,k7, yo, k2tog tbl
4 k1, k2tog, yo,k5, yo, k2tog tbl, k1
6 k2, k2tog, yo,k3, yo, k2tog tbl, k2
4 k3, k2tog, yo,k1, yo, k2tog tbl, k3

then i amended it.... i added a "knit one" between groups, and therefore on each side of the lace, every other row is being added a bead. i had a tube of beads in a "stone" mix. greys, golds, lilacs, silvers.

right now...... i have one line of V going down each sleeve. i think i will keep it to one
i have three going down the back right now. i may stop those at the yoke/underarm or may continue them. (either way the beads stop in the back after the underarm level sitting on beads is no fun) if i continue them then the question becomes do i add more repeats as the stitch count goes up?

i have two just starting on either side of my V neck in front. i am debating whether to continue them straight down and add a third/fourth/whatever as i expand more stitches.. or whether to ANGLE the V lace to track along the V neck line...

Thank you! Woohoo! My first 'friend'.

Whoa, that sounds complex. As for adding repeats, you could always try it for a couple inches, and rip back if it doesn't look right. (I think I spend as much time ripping back as I do knitting, when I freeform things.)

It'll be cool to see how your sweater turns out. ^_^

It's National Sweater Knitting Month? I might just dig out the pattern and yarn for Elisabeth Lavold's Tordis sweater that I started a few years ago and only got about 3/4ths of a sleeve done. Of course, I will now have to frog that sleeve because I have no clue where I am. And then look longingly at the rest of the UFOs around the house and wonder why I've started yet ANOTHER project.

sure, why not... and its NOT starting a new product if you are using that OLD project. its *finishing* one...
right?
right.

Actually, I had forgotten that I started the Best Friend cardigan just the other day. Chunky yarn with size 19 needles. I might just finish it this month yet!!

W0oT!
go for it!

Sounds like it's going to be gorgeous, and fun to wear. Even if you don't get it all done in November.

I started the same day as you - I hadn't even heard of it before you posted. Of course, I'm an extremely slow knitter, and I'll be extremely lucky if I finish in three months!

I had actually bought some yarn and picked out a pattern a couple of months ago, but hadn't gotten around to actually starting it. So far, I've managed about an inch and a half of ribbing on the back :(

I'm using Knitpick's swish yarn in marine heather for this pattern http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/knitted-mock-turtleneck-pullover but omitting the rolled edges.

i am not fond of rolled edges myself
that looks fast. and i am a slow knitter too....
