Bristow Sweater

August 19, 2009 By Carole

bristow full front

The first thing I did, on my first day of vacation, was to finish up the Bristow Sweater for Lois.

bristow front

You may recall that I bartered with Lois and that’s how I wound up knitting her this sweater.  She chose the pattern, Bristow, and she chose the yarn, Cascade 220.

bristow sleeves

I did the knitting and in the meantime she’s finishing a quilt for me.  Since I’d much rather knit than quilt these days, I’m a winner on this deal.

bristow collar

This sweater is quite beautiful, though, and I think that makes Lois a winner, too.

    I agree – it is a beautiful sweater. I’m more into quilting these days but still have my pair of socks on the needle : – )

    It’s lovely and you did a beautiful job. I hope you’ll show us the quilt your friend is finishing for you when you get it. I love quilts though like you, I’d rather knit than quilt!

    You both won…you got to produce that beautiful FO.

    The sweater is beautiful and you did a great job. I have yet to finish a sweater that fits well. Socks are my thing. Show us the quilt too. I used to quilt also.

  5. Julie says

    August 19, 2009 at 6:59 am

    Yes, I’d say Lois is definitely a winner!

    A quilt for a sweater is a perfect trade of commodities!! Winners all around! The sweater is beautiful and Lois will love it!

  7. Tonni says

    August 19, 2009 at 7:28 am

    The sweater is lovely. The two of you are both winners… and like you, i’d rather knit.

  8. Barbara-Kay says

    August 19, 2009 at 7:47 am

    It’s a beauty! Will you someday knit it again for yourself?

  9. Paula says

    August 19, 2009 at 8:02 am

    Definitely a win-win. I love the sweater. Just enough aran detail without being all bobble-y.

  10. Kim says

    August 19, 2009 at 8:16 am

    Carole that is a beautiful sweater! I may just have to put that one on my list. I love it. 🙂 Well done!

  11. Jean says

    August 19, 2009 at 8:16 am

    The sweater is an instant classic, I love the style of it, it looks like it had enough of a pattern to hold your interest while knitting. By the way I noticed that gray is the new fall color (I noticed this while window shopping at a very high end mall).

  12. Anne says

    August 19, 2009 at 8:38 am

    Just gorgeous! That pattern has been on my list for quite some time, but I really REALLY like it in that nice neutral.

  13. Patty says

    August 19, 2009 at 8:41 am

    Carole – beautiful job. Can’t wait to see the quilt.

  14. Knitnana says

    August 19, 2009 at 8:44 am

    Ok. You think you’re getting the better end of the deal, but I’m not so sure…that’s one gorgeous sweater!!!
    (((hugs)))

  15. Kirsten says

    August 19, 2009 at 8:46 am

    Lucky Lois! That is one beautiful sweater! Are you tempted to make one for yourself now?

  16. Renee says

    August 19, 2009 at 8:49 am

    It’s lovely!

  17. Manise says

    August 19, 2009 at 8:55 am

    Definitely a win-win! What a beautiful sweater!

  18. Tammy says

    Wow – beatiful pattern and your knitting is stunning.

    Fantastic trade. Lois will enjoy the Bristow for years. I love me a classic sweater.

  20. Inna says

    August 19, 2009 at 9:45 am

    I love the intricate detail on the sweater.

    I just learned to quilt but most days I’d rather knit.

    The sweater looks wonderful. Lois certainly chose well and you did a great job (of course) with the knitting. I can’t wait to see the quilt when it’s finished.

  24. Nora says

    August 19, 2009 at 10:54 am

    Carole, it’s breathtaking! Just wonderful. Lucky Lois!

  25. deb says

    August 19, 2009 at 11:12 am

    And Lois also chose wisely in her selection of a barter partner!

  26. Cheryl S. says

    August 19, 2009 at 11:46 am

    The sweater is gorgeous! Hope your quilt is, too.

    totally a win-win! many years ago one of my friends hand quilted a quilt for me for knitting her a sweater. we both got something we wouldn’t have had.

  30. Sarah R says

    August 19, 2009 at 2:33 pm

    Lovely sweater! I like it a lot.

  31. Sara says

    August 19, 2009 at 2:38 pm

    That is a gorgeous sweater! And, the color is so nice. I think Lois is a winner for sure – especially with your beautiful knitting.

  33. Cookie says

    August 19, 2009 at 4:42 pm

    I think it’s a wonderful trad all around! Bristow is lovely, Carole, and I’m sure the quilt is, too.

  34. Kathleen says

    August 19, 2009 at 5:29 pm

    I love how the Bristow Sweater turned out. She’s one lucky girl to be getting a gorgeous sweater. This is a win/win situation. She wins by getting the sweater and you win by getting a quilt. Please post a picture of your quilt when you get it.

  35. J.P. says

    August 19, 2009 at 5:53 pm

    The sweater is beautiful. You did a wonderful job down to the last details.

    I love an exchange like this where everyone wins.

  41. Lisa says

    August 20, 2009 at 8:54 am

    Beautiful! The color choice really nails this one. And seeing yours, I’ve queued it up – how did I not see this one before?!?
