Arne Carlos sweater

I have been knitting away on my second arne & carlos sweater. This one is for my son. I am still using Bendigo woolen mills colourway raven for the main body , as I did for my husbands jumper. I found some old wool and nylon blend in my stash that is working out really well for the contrast colour. 

I'm so happy to be past the colour work and am so close to the neck. I just hope it fits him well. That is the problem with not having my son live super close to me. He can't just try it on. 

It also seems to be very fitting that I am using the tulip needle stoppers he gave me. I do love them , i would be lost without needle stoppers.

 

Two more blocks

I have decided to do the final row of 13 blocks to add to my Farmer's wife sampler quilt. 

As I had finished 72 blocks already I was going to stop at that and finish putting the quilt together. But as I thought about it I changed my mind and decided to make the last 13 because I think I would regret not making them if I stopped now. So I have made the first 2 of the 13.

Now I just need to find do the next 11.
