The two bottom photos are true colors of the sweater. The other photos where taken indoors. I knitted this sweater during a camping trip in Greer, Arizona and the photos of the finished sweater are from the next year. I have never knitted anything as complex as this and haven’t since and it’s not even that complex!! I was very proud when I finished it. The yarn was a cheap acrylic I found at Michael’s as I really didn’t think I was going to finish it. The yarn isn’t manufactured anymore.
