Ultimate Cardigan Search!

I am so pleased to be a member of Sew Retro! I'm been reading this blog and blogs of contributors. I must say I'm blown away by the creativity! I don't believe in idle hands, so if I'm not sewing for myself, I sew for my family, create greeting cards, design websites, knit, crochet and research my family's genealogy (which is linked to my main blog).

I am currently on the search for a sewing pattern to make 1950's style cardigans out of knit fabric. It could be a vintage or current pattern. I want to then be able to do some hand embroidery around the necklines. I can knit the cardigan, but that just takes too long and one of my drawbacks is the desire for instant gratification (anyone else have that problem? lol)

Thanks so much for any help!
