sweater weather

i 💜 sweaters

i love to wear them throughout the fall and winter seasons. here in southern california we don't experience much in the way of seasons.  but lately, we've had a couple cold and rain spells.  so it's been perfect sweater weather (i know this doesn't compare to the rest of the country, but for a native southern california gal, it's been cold!)

back to sweaters...

i saw this pattern on annie's and knew i had to make it. it's called the stamford pullover.  i had just used the motif on another design and really enjoyed working with it. now, i have never made crocheted clothing before, so i was a bit nervous. i usually stick to the simple, basic and quick items. but the pattern looked easy enough for an advanced crocheter. and it was. it was so enjoyable to work on this, and didn't require any odd stitches, or advanced knowledge. if you can count, and have a couple of stitch markers, you're good... 😉

i have received so many compliments on this sweater and have worn it plenty times. hoping to make it in other colors too.

hope you are all staying safe and warm, wrapped in homemade crocheted goodies.  if by chance you are not, i still have a few goodies left in my shop.  take a look!
