Any ideas?

Some treats (for more sock knitting, I'm obsessed):

Colinette Jitterbug in "Florentina"

Self-striping Lana Grossa 

I've got a ton of Jaeger extra fine merino Aran that I bought in the Liberty Sale.  So here is the question:
I've got a Jaeger book but actually I'm not mad about any of the patterns.  In fact the only pattern that I liked so far is the Tempting one in Knitty and it's all rib - and I don't get on so well with rib.  Doing an entire jumper in it might kill me.

So I'm looking for an easy pattern for a long cardi or for two garments - like a wraparound cardi, a v neck jumper... any suggestions, ladies?

Also a couple of people have promised me simple patterns for the sock yarn, but if you've any suggestions again, please do let me know!

And a little PS - anyone know of good yarn shops in Berlin, preferably as near to Charlottenstrasse as possible?

I am really smitten with Amelia's long cardi pattern here:

but I don't know if it would be good for your wool, or easy, or your thing but I had to share my love for it!

How are you getting on with your socks? I have crocheted a few pairs, I think I sent you pics, worked better than me for knitting...
On a bit of a knitting kick actually - we had Monday off so I spent the day knitting until my hands felt tingly so I took a break...and went to buy more yarn! :)
