After a long stretch with cardigan patterns that say "allow me to introduce you to my stomach", finally peplums are back! I can hardly wait to start one, although my first will be from an older Solveig Hisdal pattern:

just because I have loved it for a long time.

I have missed peplums, too, Flicka. And I have always liked that sweater pattern. What color do you have planned and what yarn will you use?

I will use Cherry Tree Hill Supersock Solids, burgundy color. I can't find it on the Cherry Tree Hill website, which makes me nervous. (I'm sure I have plenty for this project, but it is really nice yarn.)

| Love 'em, too! Had one on my beautiful taffeta engagement dress over 27 years ago. Glad to see they're back. |

It is lovely! I too have a peplum-friendly-body. and have always loved this one. In fact, I love the whole book!
Keep us posted, and have fun!

"Peplum-friendly-body" -- I love it! Thanks, Anna!
Okay, I will try to keep you posted, and I definitely will have fun.

"Hmmm Peplums. What are they? must look up that link. Hmmm sort of skirt things on a cardigan I guess. Must check the dictionary. Yes, little skirt bits" 
Those were my thoughts as I read this thread.
Thanks for this info. They are a great idea. Can I go back to bed now as I have learnt my something new for today? 
I will now go and casually mention to my daughter, Relliurad, that Flicka on the KR forums says that peplums are back and I reckon they would suit both of us very well. I will tell her that next time I knit myself a cardigan I intend to have a peplum. 
 Hee hee hee I wonder if she knows what a peplum is. I WOULD LOVE IT IF I COULD KNOW SOMETHING SHE DOESN'T ABOUT KNITTING.
Anyway here I go. Thanks again for a great idea.

Ooh, what a LOVELY design ... can't wait to see your finished item! I personally love peplums and have had two-piece "dresses" with them. I've always thought they look so, well, feminine.

| Love peplums. They flatter most figures. I just finished a great top with a peplum. It's Halcyon from the Rowan 47 book. It was sooo much fun to knit - a lacey pattern. I wanted to just keep knitting! And it fits great!! Always a plus. |

That is sweet, too, and might suit me better than Solveig Hisdal's. Thank you, Flicka!

OMG..the last thing I need is a peplum, as cute as they are!

Shame on me -- a word I didn't know. Now I do. Plus all the pattern links. Thanks to one and all.
