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!

    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.

    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

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

    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

    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)))

    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!

    Wow – beatiful pattern and your knitting is stunning.

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

    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

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

  25. deb says

    August 19, 2009 at 11:12 am

    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.

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

    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?!?

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
