I've been flipping through old knitting books looking for inspiration about round yokes, and stumbled upon this gem in Knitting Without Tears:
"Norwegian color pattern knitting and the making of Scottish Argylls have a watery waste between them as deep and wide as the North Sea or German Ocean."
Last night at about 1:30 a.m. I finished a pair of crocheted socks just under the wire for an upcoming summer magazine release. My hands were tired and so was I, and I thought, I'll give myself a couple of days break before jumping back into my other deadlines. But for some reason, today, I woke up itching to start another project. It must be that time of year, I have a bit of startitis. Luckily, I have a lot of projects waiting in the wings as well as some great contract knitters and crocheters helping me out.
The next sweater that I'm creating--a crocheted cropped jacket for Lana Knits--has been brewing for some time. I've designed it in my head several times, swatched a bit and finally come up with a plan, in theory that I like. Now it's time to dig out hook and yarn again and give it a try. I'd like it to have a round yoke and I want to try and work out. Time to experiment!
Have you ever crocheted a round yoke sweater? I'd love to hear about it.

Well, not really a sweater but a baby cardigan. The easiest ever. The pattern is the Cecily one from Alicia Paulson.
I am going to start now with the adult version from the Vintage Crochet book.
It's autumn here in Australia and I've been desperately trying to find a nice pattern for a cropped crocheted jacket. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Ooo...I've also been looking for round yoke cardis. Milobo (on ravelry) has one (crocheted). Also on ravelry is a beautiful knitted one called the "Shalom Cardigan." I'll bet they would inspire you!!!
