Mud Season (Sweater #12)

mud season

It got cold out, so it's a good thing I finished this.  I refuse to turn the heat on quite yet so I'm covering us all in wool so we're nice and warm.  Our house was built in 1940 as a summer home; which is great when it's summer.  It stays exceptionally cool and those first hot days we can get away without the air conditioning.  It's a bit of a curse in the winter and that is when I wish they'd put in more windows so the sun could warm the house.  We'll get around to it one day, but there are more important things than windows right now (like that new furnace).

I contemplated putting long sleeves on this, but ultimately I decided it would be more versatile as a short sleeved sweater.  There's enough ease to wear a long sleeve shirt under it if I decide there needs to be more warmth.  The Cascade Eco Wool was awesome to work with.  I'd used it before on the bedroom mats and Son's sweater vest, but this was the first time working with such a large amount of it.  I'm really happy with it and not only is eco friendly, but it's affordable.  I only needed 2 skeins for this sweater and I have some left over.  I think an owl hat is in order.

I'm sorry the photos aren't the best.  I'm not a professional (nor have I ever claimed to be) and I haven't quite figured out the best place/way to photograph an adult sweater.  Any tips would be appreciated, just don't put down my photos too much.  They're the best I could do at the moment.
