My latest pattern is available, and I've named her Inara.
This wrap-style cardigan features a simple yet lovely cable & lace edging. It is knit in one piece to the armholes, where it is split back and fronts, with the 3/4 sleeves worked separately. Short-row shaping is cleverly hidden in the edging pattern to keep the edging lying flat at the front edges and back neck.
Knit in linen, it is the perfect cardigan to keep off the chill of a summer evening or an overly air-conditioned office!

Did you name this Inara after the character on Firefly?

Yes, I did! It was one of my favorite series.
