Boyland Knitworks - Sunset Highway

There is nothing quite so romantic as a road trip along the coast, with sunsets blazing in all their glory as you drive with the windows down and ocean breeze in your hair.  That ocean breeze can get chilly though, so having a lightweight sweater tossed in the backseat is always a safe bet.  Find your favourite speckled sock yarns to knit this unique slouchy sweater with a colorwork yoke and sleeves.  Choose similar colors to fade from top to bottom, or get crazy with bright contrasting tones!  You can never go wrong with a good speckle from your favourite indie dyer.  This oversized sweater will quickly become your comfiest go-to summer layering piece that will transition beautifully into the fall.
