**Spider Sweater!**

This weekend I made this sweater for patternmaking class. The silhouette is obviously pretty basic, just a raglan that i made oversized (since obviously I like everything xxl!). The fabric however is amazing- super soft and fuzzy felted dark green wool/mohair combo with a tiny but of orangey-red mixed in. In an effort to put off doing my lingerie art project as long as possible, I came up with the bright idea to hand finish the hem with some of that orangey-red. Then, naturally, I thought of a spiders and tried my best at embroidering one of those on there as well. Embroidery is definitely something I want to get better at, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

I wore it all day Monday and it was super comfortable and warm! It may or may not sub in for my "Best Dad on Earth" sweatshirt a couple of days a week... no promises though.
