365 Days of Sweaters

People typically associate sweaters with snow or falling digits.  But in reality a sweater is just a knit item, cardigan, pullover, that can be made in any weight or any fiber content. I love three or four season sweaters.  My closet is full of Andrea Mowry’s So Faded.  I have made it in fingering weight wool and fingering weight cotton.
