Totally inspired by la’s post on Springy Sweater Solutions, and motivated by hb’s totally amazing sew-a-shrug, I got myself to the thrift store and got crafting!
J Crew kelly green cardigan, $4.99:

Lots of fabric scraps from my collection, as well as thread, needles, etc.: free

Assistant/Fashion Advisor (if applicable): room & board + classy dog food.

About and hour of crafting/styling/experimenting later…
I need YOUR help! Which design do you prefer?
1. A-symmetrical Ruffle (white lace over yellow fabric)

2. Pinwheels

Comments appreciated!!
