Bishopstone yarns episode 57. The forgotten knitting video. #knitting

Here is the video I forgott to post earlier. I hope you like it. 

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.

A jumper for my husband

 I have finally finished my husbands jumper. This is only the third jumper I have knitted him in the 24 or so years we have been together.  It also took three goes at knitting it to finally have a finished jumper. In the first attempt I was following a pattern I had bought from the local department store ( maybe my first mistake) . I didn't have many men's jumper patterns at home and so I bought this one with my husband.

It had saddle shoulders, ribbed arms and a panel of rib on both sides. But when I finished it it  not fit. As it was a pieced garment I couldn't try it on as I went.

The sleeves were far too long, and there was too much fabric across the chest/ underarm area.

 

 I frogged the arms back and changed them to set in sleeves but even though they now fit the problem of too much fabric on the chest still remained so I decided to just frog the entire jumper and start again.

This time I decided to go with a top up yoked jumper knit in the round. A construction style I am very familiar with and one I could try on him as I went.
