It looks very elegant and I love that colour. I'm not sure about the cardi. I'm wearing this similar shape thingy for the first time today: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4123/4777405176_1339ae3905.jpg I bought it in the sale rather than knitting one because I wasn't sure. It is certainly comfy but I'm still feeling slightly line-backer-ish in it so I'm not sure... I’m looking forward to seeing more of your scarf. It looks very elegant and I love that colour.

I think that cardigan (even though it would look way cool in scandinavian monochrome ;)) might get a bit top-heavy? I mean, full-busted combined with a lot of stuff going on around the neck and shoulders? I am thinking slightly top-heavy ... but hey, what do I know, I'm a guy :) Self-designed posh scarf looks tres cool, though. Even I can see the Art Deco influence!

I'm big-busted and that's how I'd wear it. I agree with Meg that being short-waisted would help. I think the cardigan would work if you wore a fitted plain top underneath.

It might be worth seeing if you can get your machine serviced because it looks like a nice little machine! The scarf looks lovely!

In fact, I think being short-waisted could help you out a lot here... The real question would have to do with what kind of top you'd wear under it. I think you could do that cardigan, no problem.

But then again, I do love KSH in all forms. Good luck getting your sewing machine to work. I'm not much of a seamstress so I'm sure I wouldn't be any help. The first and last time I used my machine, I sewed a zipper on the wrong side of the fabric. Whoops. That lace looks gorgeous! But then again, I do love KSH in all forms.
