After multiple knittings--first with seed stitch, then with Turkish stitch--and numerous ripping backs, I have finally finished the body of the Puff-Sleeved Cardi sans lace.  I substituted Turkish Stitch a la Barbara Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns:

Turkish Stitch Pattern in Peplum

I have also made much progress and then much frogging on the left sleeve.  Unfortunately, I have wide shoulders so the poufy-ness of the sleeve shoulders isn't so much so.

Puff-Sleeved Feminine Cardi Left Front (with 70's Linoleum background--groovy baby!)

Additionally, I do believe that I am going to have to cross my fingers and toes and hope that KnitPicks has more yarn in my dyelot as-- between my decision to make long sleeves and to increase the body length and despite considering such things when making the original order of yarn--it looks as if I am running out of yarn.  Aargh!

Really pretty there! I've ordered tons of yarn from Knit Picks and I don't think any of them have had dye lots. That's one good thing about their yarn, you can order stuff months and months later, and they still have the same color.

I really like what you did with the lower edge! Good luck finding the yarn. Can't wait to see your finished product.
