Glory's thread reminded me of your quest. I don't know if this would fit within your criteria, but this is an awesome sweater that you might love. Maybe you could hunt it down outside of Nordstrom in a non-petite size. It's usually us Ps who have trouble finding stuff! If I were the type who could handle any sort of bulk in a sweater, I would be considering it.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/lauren-ralph-lauren-metallic-cable-knit-sweater-petite/3610931?cm_cat=datafeed&amp;cm_ite=lauren_ralph_lauren_metallic_cable_knit_sweater_(petite):974953&amp;cm_pla=tops:women:sweater&amp;cm_ven=Linkshare&amp;siteId=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-LTFbV3lMiIFhw1E4sJ_Rkw">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/la.....?cm_cat=da</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-seen-any-good-fishermen-sweaters#post-1063297 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 20:36:56 +0000 carambola 1063297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting.

And, to my surprise, there's one that might be my ideal for this winter:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jcrew.com/boys_category/sweaters/crewnecksrollnecks/PRDOVR~07444/07444.jsp?color_name=hthr-cement">http://www.jcrew.com/boys_cate.....r_name=hth</a><br />Almost too many trends - baseball colorblock, fisherman cables - but cute. I fit a boy's 14 there sometimes. (If it's a useful comparison for anyone, it's about a women's XS but with wider arms, which is great for me. Sometimes too blocky through the chest, unsurprisingly.) And the size 14s always sell out before other sizes, so I'm sure I'm not&nbsp;the only small woman who's noticed this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-seen-any-good-fishermen-sweaters#post-1062496 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 02:05:50 +0000 Janet 1062496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure of the difference between the two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-seen-any-good-fishermen-sweaters#post-1062490 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 01:59:45 +0000 Parsley 1062490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, to me an&nbsp;Aran sweater is&nbsp;the same thing as a fisherman sweater.
