I actually thought it was grey in the pictures. I want a grey one. I have several cream ones, and they aren't the best with my grey hair. I have a green tweed aran I'm knitting (with a shawl collar!). I'm not very far along, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aran-cardigan-from-ireland#post-1180970 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 20:30:09 +0000 Helena 1180970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an Irish heritage and I love Aran knits ... so iconic. Wear it with pride!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aran-cardigan-from-ireland#post-1180967 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 20:26:33 +0000 catgirl 1180967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful sweater. I have an obsession with Celtic items (including DH)! Love the medieval/timeless aspect of this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aran-cardigan-from-ireland#post-1180966 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 20:25:36 +0000 kellygirl 1180966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it. It doesn't read frumpy to me. I think it's the fit--it doesn't look terribly oversized like some arans. I also like the hood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aran-cardigan-from-ireland#post-1180963 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 20:23:06 +0000 Freckles 1180963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adore, love, almost perfect. &nbsp;While in Ireland last summer I wanted and Aran cardigan. &nbsp;It could not have a large collar, be cream coloured, short or have buttons. &nbsp;I also wanted it long enough to cover my derriere. &nbsp;This one fit the bill perfectly.<br />Although it has a hood, and that is not my favourite, it lays quite flat and not awkward and bulky under coats. &nbsp;My favourite collar is a shawl and this one lays down with a hint of that. &nbsp;The zipper is a two way zipper with charms at the end and the colour is a green tweedy mix. &nbsp; &nbsp;Front pockets keep hands warm. &nbsp;Love it although it probably reads frumpy.<br />What do you think...</p>
