If your nose is not going to be buried in a book studying for exams the entire weekend, consider this for an arts-and-crafts project that's as easy as it is impressive. This sweater, by 3.1 Phillip Lim and sold out on Net-a-Porter, would be ideal for those last few rainy days of April and even better for those few first fall days of September.
Phil used a fancy cashmere blend but you can use dad's old wool sweater just the same. Swap the old buttons for Mr. Rodgers-inspired braided leather. As for the sweet lace trim, both vintage doilies and dime store eyelet ruffles would work wonders.
