I wanted to get pictures of my brother in his finished Hugo, but I gave him the sweater when I saw him over the weekend and it just didn’t work out. It does fit, though it has some negative ease in the chest and arms I wasn’t quite anticipating. All in all my brother is happy with it and I got to hand it off before he goes back to the soon-to-be-tundra Minnesota. Fortunately, as a precaution for the upcoming busy weekend, I took some shots of Matt in the sweater. Here he is looking a bit like a Sad Etsy Boyfriend.
The yarn is Cascade 220 in Japanese Maple. I used about 6.5 skeins of it for this sweater. This time I used snaps instead of buttons as I did for Matt’s. I like the snaps. I think I’d stick with that if I made this sweater a third time (but I probably won’t). 
I love this color on Matt. See how much he loves modeling for me when he’d rather be drinking coffee on a Saturday morning? 
I’m glad this is off my knitting plate. I’m thisclose to finishing Carpino and I think I shall be starting something new soon. I keep thinking about doing some baby knits for Charlotte, but I haven’t really been inspired by something I have to make right this minute (which is about as long as a knit for a 5 month old takes compared to adult stuff) so I’m waiting to be struck by a gorgeous piece of pattern inspiration. Or maybe I’ll dream something up.
Beautiful pattern and awesome color!
Its stitch detailing is amazing.
Nice! Tell us the truth, you knit while asleep!! O.O
Ha! Ha! Ha! I wish I could!
hah! Too funny, beautiful sweater though.
ahaha, I didn’t know the Sad Easy Boyfriend page, but I do believe they are so many of these outside 😀 The pullover is gorgeous! Love the color and pattern!
Amazing!
That is amazing! Great work 🙂
Beautiful sweater. I love the fit, for me a tight sweater is so uncomfortable. I like them loose but not baggy – this one is perfect.
your men’s sweaters are always so awesome! Love the designs, the colors, everything! Well done.
That is a great colour on Matt! Maybe he’d be less sad if he didn’t have to hand the sweater back? 😉
Fantastic!
I’m in love with the colour.
dude, that sweater is incredible!!! Love the Etsy boyfriend comparison, I laughed as soon as you said that. Seriously, though- that sweater is bloody amazing.
Beautiful work!
Bahaha, I have never heard of the Sad Etsy Boyfriend. Too funny. The sweater looks amazing!
What a fantastic sweater!
You are amazing!! Really good stuf!!
This is gorgeous! The color is amazing and it’s a great pattern. I love learning new textures and stitch patterns but have yet to make a sweater because of the cost of buying enough yarn. When I work up the nerve, I want to make something like this, with lots of exciting textures! Thanks for the inspiration.
