Carla, your asymmetrical cardigan sounds great! Also, you have a good memory. I have a 30-year-old sort of simplified argyle (no thin lines, just the diamond shapes) sweater in shades of olive. It’s actually a cardigan, which is not my thing, but I wear it backwards! It’s very sentimental as my mom bought it for me — I only have a couple pieces left that are wearable from her, so I’ll probably never give it away.
I have a wool ski quarter-zip sweater from Norway from 10 years ago that has some argyle accents on the sleeve and collar. It’s quite fitted and it’s red, both of which are not my favorite things anymore, but I keep it to wear when the mood hits. It’s a very nice piece that I’ll keep for a long time.
I might still have my old Esprit periwinkle blue argyle sweater packed away somewhere. Another piece that’s probably 20 years old, I think I got it when mom was still alive. A fabulous and hard to find color palette. It was finally starting to get a little worn looking, so I may have donated it, but it might be in a holding zone box somewhere. I kind of hope so — I’m starting to appreciate even things with a little patina of wear these days.
Roberta, I like the exaggerated vertical of the pattern on those sweaters!
Thank you for the input re MD. I may try!
