New Pattern: Electric Oasis Pullover

First pattern of 2014! I was hoping to get this out before Christmas, but looking back, that was a crazy plan. Not sure what I was thinking. But oh well, here we are.

It was cold. Snow was blowing at me. The photo shoot was quick. 

Electric Oasis (so named because for some reason, the song "She's Electric" by Oasis was in my head literally the entire time I was knitting this) is a top-down, contiguous-sleeved, seamless, striped pullover worked in the delightfully squishy Spud and Chloe Sweater. I've come to realize lately (now that we live in a cold place and I actually do have to wear sweaters quite often) that I prefer simple pullovers. Hence, a lovely classic pullover with fun stripes and baby cable ribbing instead of plain old normal ribbing. I love sweaters like this. Sweater + skinny jeans + boots + brushed hair and mascara and I'm totally put together. Easy!
