Too Hot to Knit

Well, it is finally too hot to knit. We're under a heat advisory notice, with expected temps up to 108, but above 100 for the week. Great. It's still nearly 80 degrees, and it's almost 9:30 at night.

I don't have A/C, so I'm sitting here with a fan blowing, bouncing off the wall in my bedroom. It's enough to keep me from fainting from the heat, but it doesn't really keep me cool. I'm still sweating, and have been since about 11 am.

Tomorrow is the first day I can get back in my classroom, to start setting up for the new year. Maybe I can even learn who is in my class. Why they won't let me know that before school is practically starting, I'll never know. At any rate, I am going in to the school tomorrow, and probably the rest of this week. At least my classroom is air conditioned. And I may be spending a lot of time at my brother's house, since they have A/C. Maybe I can take some knitting with me to their house. His wife knits, too, so maybe we can have our own "Knit Nights" this week. I just need to find something to knit. I've been looking through patterns for something to do with my Silken Kydd, and for the Silk Mohair from the LB Collection. I had forgotten I'd ordered that. It's in a nice deep wine color, a bit lighter than the Silken Kydd. I've got 1,386 yards of the Silk Mohair, and although it's classified as a 1, the label says the gauge is 17s/20 rows on 8s(5mm). I was thinking of a light cardigan, maybe 3/4 sleeves. Just simple, for wearing in my classroom where it often gets too cold for me but just right for all the students, and at night (when the nights cool down again, that is). I know I've got more than enough yardage, but I can't find a good pattern for it. I've already searched Ravelry and found nothing that works for me. Most of my pattern books and magazines are in another room, and it's simply too hot to go looking through them now. I'd say I could do it in the morning, before it heats up, but honestly, 70 is the lowest temp we've had today (From midnight to now), and 70 isn't really all that cool, considering I have west facing windows in my living room and  in my bedroom, (on the 2nd floor) so the apartment warms up early and stays hot late. Oh, well.

So, I'm searching for a simple, 3/4 length sleeve cardigan which will work with a silk/mohair yarn. Something light and airy. Any suggestions are welcome.
