The courage to dream

I was realizing the other day, I have not posted a photo of Arbour since I was above the sleeve level and A LOT has happened since then!

I am very happy with how this is turning out.  I am still not super thrilled with the neckline, but I like it.  It is actually quite a bit longer today, but trying it on is not super easy with having to put half of it on waste yarn and all (as can be seen in the photo).  There are 12 cable repeats done in the photo.  I think I will need 24 and today I have I think about 18 or so done.  As you see in the photo the neck and sleeves are done, so when I get to the bottom and bind off I will be done!!!  Hopefully within the next week or so!

Now a little fun to show off.  A few weeks ago I went to a little fiber sale just outside of Portland.  Here is the fun stuff I got!
