This week I simply opened Ravelry's "hot right now" list, and picked something I actually liked for the first look.

Which is the Shizen sweater.Why I like it, and why would I consider knitting it?
While I like massive, colorwork, cables, lace, and I wear those sweaters constantly, sometimes, I would like to have something I can throw on over my summery white clothes.
Yes, I wear a LOT of white, especially in the summer, and this is something I can imagine with a white tank top and some soft, wide legged linen pants.
Also, looking at it, it looks like it has an interesting construction, the shoulders are two straight strips, which continued in one after the neck-opening is down.
Sleeves are knitted top down, with minimal shaping.
I would probably choose some bit rusting, linen, silk, or similar fibers with cotton.
