Thanks to all of you who voted - you confirmed my thoughts. The winner is the Jaeger Luxury Tweed cardigan as pictured here. I started it today at the Knit Chat meeting, and it looks good!I don't think it'll be a quick knit as it's a weird stitch pattern involving this: p3tog keeping sts on left needle, yo, p3tog again then slip sts off left needle. It's making a firm fabric so I'm not downsizing the needle size as I usually do.
It was a close call as to whether I made it in the beautiful colour shown, but I ended up buying the pebble shade.
The project speed doesn't matter; I just wanted something on the go to take on our hols to Tenby next week. Anyone know of any good yarn shops in the area that I should visit? I know Colourway are in that area, and Colinette may be scheduled in en route if I can convince DH to take my girls to the Llanfair Railway!
The pattern is from a Woman's Weekly Knitting and Stitching Special 2004 magazine that I picked up by chance whilst travelling home from an exhibition about HR systems for work! It also includes this fab cable jumper which I love; this one uses Jaeger Extra Fine Merino DK yarn. Guess what I'm on the lookout for. ;-)BTW, have you seen the Jaeger JB38 magazine? I love almost every project in there (groan!) I think I may have to purchase that very soon.

It's definately a good choice :) i'll be glad when all the moss stitch is gone and i've got 1/2 way up the last sleeve. Yay!
Hope knit chat was nice- i've booked next week from work though i'll be away for tuesday meet.
Yes, go for it! I see what you mean about the new Jaeger book. I have so many wish list wips that I can't decide!
