Sweater Weather

Fall is my favorite season, after a blazing hot summer in Texas there is nothing better than enjoying a brisk morning with a cozy sweater. I have been working on this idea for a drawing since last Fall, an illustration to celebrate the arrival of sweater weather!

I love the drape-y open front cardigans

My heart shaped embroidery pattern was inspired also inspired by DIY post from One Sheepish Girl, her sweet floral pattern is awesome!!!

I'm so excited I'm going to Arboretum tomorrow and I'm taking my sweater!! 
What have you got planned for this weekend?
