A Cardigan For Winter

My heart is set on a round neck cabled cardigan from Inverallan (left). Inverallan is a Scottish company specialising in Aran knits. According to their site,

"Our Aran Sweaters are hand knits and the most complex and thus the most exclusive form of knitting, Each Aran garment takes a single knitter, working in his or her own home well over 90 hours and contains at least 25,000 stitches. Each Aran sweater is individual, made with enormous skill, and if treated with care will last a lifetime."

Going by the wet and windy weather of late, a cosy knitted cardigan is a must. The key is a piece that doesn't shout frumpy.

There is a similarly covetable knitted cardigan by APC (below). But after a recent APC spending spree, I'm finding it hard to justify another purchase. Otherwise, I stand the risk of becoming a walking APC advert.
