Bristol Ivy Is Blowing Our Minds, People
Settle in, friends. We have a lot to discuss today.
There are knitting books. And there is this book.
Bristol Ivy’s Knitting Outside the Box is a stunner. It functions on several levels at once, and that’s its sneaky brilliance.
One one level, it is a book of patterns. Fifteen projects, each one lovely, surprising, varied.
But that’s the least of it. What sets this book apart—and by apart, I mean way over there in a category pretty much by itself—is the view we get of the thinking behind these projects. Knitting Outside the Box is a window into the mind of a designer who is operating at the highest level of conceptual sophistication. Bristol Ivy is an original—she’s designing far, far outside the box.
Deep Diving
Her book reminds me of Debbie New’s Unexpected Knitting, the 2003 book that dazzled me and left me shaking my head at the inventive curiosity of a woman who sees knitting as an open-ended odyssey. Debbie New knitted a teacup. A boat.
Bristol Ivy is likewise unapologetic in her willingness to explore, to go all the way in. She’s not interested in knitting curiosities—so far, she hasn’t knit a canoe. Her obsession is the creation of knitted fabrics, and she’s content to work in the realm of garments, wraps, and accessories. But not a bit of it is predictable or familiar, and that’s why we will have such a fantastic time making these projects.
She sees a snowdrift and ends up with an elegant shawl full of slanted triangles. She looks short rows straight in the eye and doesn’t blink. She is completely, totally game.
Having Fun, Bristol Style
Bristol assumes that we are all going to use this is a guidebook to creating our own projects. And indeed, the three parts lay out very specific concepts about designing our own projects. She writes, “You are completely, utterly, infallibly, 100% in charge of your own knitting destiny. Knitting is a blank slate: it is an amorphous, inchoate, and imminently malleable art form, and it is yours to do with whatever you wish. So let’s have some fun.”
She lays out the building blocks of knitting: increases and decreases, short rows, and stitch patterns. She encourages us to mash up patterns, to mix and match, to make it our own. Finally, in Part 3, she gives three case studies of how she uses these components to create projects that began with a “what if” idea.
It is heartening that she trusts we are capable of the mental gymnastics that she performs so easily. And for many knitters, the puzzle of knitting is a big part of the fun.
For me, I’m perfectly OK with being a consumer of her work without needing to go beyond the fifteen patterns she gives us. Most knitters like to knit, period. And this book gives us ample opportunity to make stuff.
But I hope, when you get your copy of Knitting Outside the Box, that you’ll look at these patterns, then spend time with Bristol’s explanation of how she got from initial inspiration to final product, and be grateful that Pom Pom Press had the wit and smarts to catch all this thinking in such a beautiful, rare book.
The print edition, with a Ravelry download code for the ebook edition, is available directly from Bristol here in the U.S. and at yarn shops across the country. The ebook-only edition is available at Ravelry. In the UK and EU, from Pom Pom Press.
Yarn Dreaming with Bristol’s Patterns
Now.
One of my favorite armchair knitting games (other than actual knitting which I typically do in an armchair, now that I think about it) is Yarn Dreaming. The minute I got my copy of Knitting Outside the Box, I did one of my favorite things: scheme up yarns to use for these patterns.
Here are a few of the projects from the book, with yarns we love and carry in the MDK Shop. (I could tell you about all fifteen projects, but I’d rather let you have the fun of discovering them yourself. The Yarn Dreaming is endless.)
O’Keeffe Pullover
At Rhinebeck, Kay and I gazed upon this sweater and simultaneously declared this A Sweater Most Coveted.
Our second simultaneous declaration was “Sylph!” To be sure, Jade Sapphire’s cashmere/linen blend is an indulgence. But this pattern has such classic, everlasting lines that it’s a worthy match for a yarn that is so special. Our selection of neutrals is particularly tasty here.
Rain Shadow, Loam, Puddle, Rustle, Eddy, Hush
Harjo Shawl
Triangles, when Bristol gets hold of them, come together in an asymmetrical wrap with slip stitches and all kind of angles.
My yarn brain instantly leapt to our Milo by Manos del Uruguay, the merino/linen blend that has such a lightness and drape to it. We recently added a new shade, Campo, a green that may be my favorite.
Baltico, Tundra, Bizance, Natural, Manchester, Venezia, Alaska
Druyan Shawl
This is the result of an idea that led Bristol down a rabbit hole. Chevrons, garter ridges, all kinds of scheming led her to a result different from what she’d expected. This is an asymmetrical triangle, just lovely in texture.
My pick for a Dryuan Wrap? Our Shibui Drift blend of merino and cashmere. It’s smooth, soft, luxe.
Ash, Field, Velvet, Graphite
Carr Shawl
Pure play with garter stitch, increases and decreases, and a bit of simple lace. Comfort knitting.
A couple of skeins of our Backyard Fiberworks MDK-exclusive colors would work up into a luminous swath of Keep You Warm.
Clockwise from top right: Patio, Local Honey, Pumpkin, One Thin Dime, Jamberry, Inkling, Pepper Sprout, Wine Dark Sea
And our Fyberspates Vivacious 4ply is juicy, too.
Tweed Imps, Deep Forest, Dove Stone, Deep Aqua
Canady Shawl
I love a big shawl. I love a shawl that’s six feet long. That’s about right. There are times when you just need to gird yourself against things, and the scale of this shawl is such that you could survive pretty much any inclement weather, no problem. It would look amazing hanging off the end of your sofa, too.
I’ve been working with Fyberspates Vivacious DK recently, on the Little Tern Baby Blanket. The subtle color shifts are glorious, and the merino is of course a joy to knit. A couple of Little Tern kits would be plenty to create this juicy wrap.
Audre Shawl
Deep cables make a luxurious yarn even more special. The dimensionality of these cables is what cables are supposed to be: deliciously smooshy.
This lush brown instantly got me thinking about our Caravan by Crave Yarn. The Tilly shade, in particular. Merino, cashmere, camel, and mulberry silk in a beautiful mash up.
That Carr shawl is great! Hard to choose. Thanks for the contest !
LisaRR
The OKeefe Sweater, if only it would fit me as drapingly beautiful. Betty Becker, email:racheleah@gmail.com
Love all these patterns but Audre Shawl is my favorite.
Ooh def the Carr shawl!
The Audre shawl please!
I NEED the O’Keeffe Pullover.(already subscribed to Snippets)
I am not a pullover person but I need that O’Keeffe!
Audre shawl
Love the okeefe sweater!
Canady shawl please. Because you really can’t go wrong with a big, warm, cozy shawl.
Caravan
I really like the Canady shawl. Really drapey!
I love the O’Keeffe pullover. I subscribe to snippets
Harmony for me — just stunning how the triangles and textures play off each other
Stupid autocorrect-harjo!
I really like the O’Keefe sweater!
Such beautiful and unique patterns. Right now I’d cast on Carr or Harjo. Thanks for continuing to inspire. Glad my rabbit hole is lined with so many luscious yarns.
So difficult to pick just one! Let’s start with the Harjo Shawl.
They are all amazing , but the O’Keefe sweater and the Canady Shawl are awesome!
O’Keefe sweater is my fave. Love all the designs though. Already get the newsletter.
Audrey and O’Keefe are calling to me.
Has to be the Carr shawl….I want to cast it on right now!
The o’keefee pullover. So classic and at this stage tunics are my go to I lobe the shape of it. And thee neutral color palette is right up my alley now!
All beautiful patterns, but the Canady shawl is gorgeous, big and warm. Not to mention cuddly.
Audre, Audre, Audre! And your yarn recommendation is exactly what I would use. Perfect!
I’ve been looking forward to this book coming out into the world. Your review is great. Love the O’Keefe Pullover and the idea of knitting it in Sylph.
I want to knit and then wrap up in a Harjo shawl!
Impossible to pick a super favorite – I love all of the knits in the post – but the O’Keefe Pullover might be a slight winner! Definitely A Sweater Most Coveted!
Love them all, but especially Canady at the moment!
What beautiful patterns and photographs! I think that I would love to knit Canady because a six-foot shawl would be a great winter project.
The Audre Shawl. Maybe because I love browns. And that pattern on the end.
The Carr Shawl
Ooh, what a bunch of beauties! My absolute favorite is O’Keefe – a go-to sweater if ever I saw one! And those Sylph colors……
Bristol Ivy is so talented. I’m making her Winterlong cowl; it’s my designated project for this weekend in town. Funny coincidence of Ivy-appreciation!
Love the O’Keefe sweater!
Besides ALL of them? Well, I can see me wearing that Okeeffe pullover, everywhere, all the time.
Carr Shawl – lovely!
My favorite is Canady Shawl! I need to gird myself against lots of things, and, my sofa needs to look happy, too. Canady looks so snuggly. Thanks for the Snippets.
I love the Canady shawl. Big shawls are so comforting!
I love the Harjo shawl. Beautiful patterns!
The O’Keeffe pullover is stunning. The design on the sides are a great detail.
Th O’Keeffe in a bright colour, I think that would be my choice.
The O’Keeffe Pullover! Classic with enough detail to make it super special. I’ve been coveting this book longingly.
That Harjo shawl has me intrigued. I, too, am a fan of hers and have been lusting after this book. If I don’t win, I plan to buy it anyway. I’d make every single pattern, I think!
Love O’Keefe and the neutral color palette is perfect.
Love that Audre — the texture is yummy!!
I love the O’Keefe Pullover — such clean lines and so wearable!
I am kind of in love with all of these patterns but the Carr shawl is just so lovely…i think that might be my favorite….for today. 🙂
Top pick is the Carr Shawl, but I could be ecstatic with any of these in my closet to pick from!
The Canady is gorgeous
My heart skipped a beat at the Carr shawl.
I love the O’Keefe pullover – and in the gorgeous neutrals of Sylph it would be perfection!
Canada Shawl! But I do not know yet if it would be for the sofa or for me. Both?
If the book is as good as the designer’s creations we all need this book.
Canady Shawl
It may be because I feel a cold coming on and that shawl looks particularly warm. 🙂 What great designs!
There isn’t an item I don’t want to knit, but the O’Keefe sweater is my favorite.
The O’Keefe pullover is stunning…but I would knit thr Harjo wrap.
Canady. Magnificent!
While it’s hard to chose-each is lovely and inspiring-I would start with the Druyan Shawl!
What a fabulous blog post, jam packed with great information 🙂
Druyan
O’Keefe pullover-I need more hand knit sweaters in my life.
Love the Carr Shawl and the Canady Shawl! Hard to choose, I could envision making all of this he patterns!
For me it has to be the Canady shawl. Huge shawls are my thing this year, there’s something psychologically wonderful about wrapping a blanket around your neck before heading out of the house “I’m prepared for snow! Naps! Meeting small humans who need a nap/blankie/clean play surface! I’m protected! I’m warm!” And so on….
The pullover for sure, great construction, a classic to have!
I’m in camp O’Keefe!
All are beautiful, but I like the Canady Sgawl
The O’Keefe!
How do you pick? But I could love the O’Keefe pullover!
I already getting all your communications including snippets. I love the Carr Shawl.
I love the Canady shawl and the Carr shawl equally — both so lovely!
O’Keeffe but it is a close question. All are beautiful and esp. maybe I should have said Carr shawl….
They are all beautiful, but I love the Carr Shawl!
Although I’m tempted by a six foot shawl it has to be the O’Keeffe pullover. A gorgeous sweater and a bittersweet nod to the man who broke my 24 year old heart many years ago.
O! O! O’Keeffe!
The O’Keeffe Pullover gets my vote.
I love the Canada shawl.
Love the Carr shawl.
I think the O’Keefe pullover has such a fresh, edgy look and would be flattering to many body types .
Oh, the Carr Shawl is just lovely. But wait, Druyan is so witting and charming, you could take her anywhere and people would fall in love. Oooh, then there’s Audra, such a nice comfortable, comforting hug around your neck.
Oh, the O’Keeffe pullover is beautiful! And of course the Canady Shawl
I like big wraps and I cannot lie. My favourite is Canady.
The Canady shawl, or the Carr – both are lovely, I can’t decide. Really, all the patterns are enticing! Thanks for the opportunity to win this amazing prize.
This book really is just wonderful – I’m in love with the Canady Shawl (but I want to knit everything!)
Canady Shawl!
The Carr shawl is what I would make first, Dreaming about the sweater most coveted.
Love the Carr shawl!
Thanks for the chance to win this awesome prize!
The Harjo shawl is so fun, love the triangles! I am intrigued by everything I want to see more! Thanks for sharing!
The Okeeffe pullover is gorgeous!
OkeefevPullover has me all excited!!
They all show great architecture but the O’Keefe sweater grabbed me. Yarn choices great too. Thanks for showing
Definitely the O’Keefe pullover!
Whoa, hard choice! I’ll go with O’Keefe.
Canady shawl – the bigger the better.
The Harjo Shawl is the one that caught my eye. Both my daughter and my daughter-in-law are pregnant and I would love to knit each of them a Harjo Shawl. I’m adding this book to my Christmas list.
The Audre shawl is beautiful! So is the sweater…..
Easy. It’s the Audre shawl
It’s the Harjo for me, but not an easy choice.
The O’Keefe pullover for sure. I’m psyched for a book as fresh and game changing as Debbie’s!
O’Keeffe first! Then Carr! Then … who knows?
O’Keefe pullover, please!
I’m in love with the Audre shawl. Love it.
I love, love, love the O’Keeffee Pullover, followed closely by the Carr Shawl and the Audre Shawl. Great patterns and yarn suggestions.
They’re all lovely but the Audre shawl appeals most at the moment
Carr shawl with my favorite garter stitch!
Love the O’Keefe Sweater-on Snippets list already.
The Carr shawl. Or maybe one of the others . . .
Wow! Carr shawl all the way!
Thanks for the great review! I will have the O’Keefe pullover, please!
Love them all but if I had to pick one to make first I think I’d go with the Canady shawl.
Bristol is such a genius. I have loved knitting a few of her patterns and Long for her book. I think the O’Keefe sweater is to die for!
Canady!
Harjo!
I love the O’Keefe pullover! My fingers are crossed! Thanks for the giveaway.
I’m a sucker for sweaters, so I have to go with the O’Keefe pullover. Love the yarn suggestion, too.
I’m with the Audre shawl too!
O’Keefe Pullover!
I love that audre shawl – I’m always a sucker for cables.
I would start with the OKeefe Pullover – though I want to make everything!
O’Keeffe Pullove
After seeing the exhibition at Brooklyn museum this summer of her artwork and her fashion style I would love slipping into this
They are all glorious, but my first project might have to be Carr – so FINE!
Exciting! I’m a sweater knitter, followed by shawls….basically you just hit me over the head! These are all lovely pieces, but it’s the deep grey SWEATER that turns my head.
I’d knit the lovely O’Keefe! Already a Snippets subscriber…..
Love, love, love these. Hard to choose- but with my back up against a wall I choose Canady- yes, please! So pretty! Thanks for the opportunity!
Love the Druyan Shawl. So excited to be taking two classes (Shawl Shapes and Knitting Outside the Box) from Bristol next year at Four Purls Yarn Shop in Florida! Warning: shameless plug ahead… I designed the Cake for Breakfast Shawl on a whim and think Bristol’s classes will help with future designing endeavors.
Love the caravan
The Carr shawl is my choice.
They are all beautiful. Canady shawl – a classic!
Harjo Shawl!
There are a lot of lovely patterns – hard to decide but at this time of year I would pick the Carr shawl – it truly looks like comfort knitting – thanks for the giveaway and Happy Holidays
O’Keeffe pullover by a long shot. All I can say is WOW!
It’s really a challenge to pick which pattern I like best . . . If forced to choose, I’ll go with the Carr shawl. It looks so basic and elegant! But, really every one is just grand. 😉
The O’Keefe pullover is spectacular, as is all of Bristol’s work. Elegant and deceptively simple.
O’Keefe pullover!
All lovely but the Canady – for me!
The Carr shawl totally does it for me!
O’keefe Is my pick!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful book and patterns. I love the O’Keeffe Pullover.
Love the post. I love the Canady shawl
I love the Audre shawl. It might need to be a slightly more purply shade of brown, to match my hair and clothes, but I think the pattern is juicy!
I’d love to knit the Canady shawl!
The Harjo Shawl would be an amazing knit!
What a difficult choice, I want to start with the first one and knit through them all, I have decided that in January I need to start with the O’Keefe Sweater for sure. In the meantime I am off to the yarn store today to purchase the book for my daughter for Christmas. This is a must for her,
Harjo, (not just for my love of author Joy Harjo). Love those lines.
I’m a true Sweateraholic and the O’Keeffe pullover calls to me. As does the Carr Shawl, to be honest. Love my Snippets, my daily temptation!
The wondrously warm and elegant looking Canaday shawl.
Harjo!
The Audre Shawl is my fave! I love the brown in the sample, and the coziness looks so comfy!
The Harjo is totally art…looks like Charlotte’s Web! Thanks so!!!
O’Keefe it is! Already subscribed.
I love the Carr shawl
The Carr Shawl….but there are so many favorites!!!
So hard to choose but I’ve narrowed it down to th O’Keefe pullover or the Audre shawl
O’Keeffe Pullover is calling me!
The O*Keeffe sweater is gorgeous. A forever sweater. Would love to cherish this book!
The O’Keefe sweater just jumped to the top of my queue. Big Rubble and Boxy will have to wait.
Great giveaway! I love the Carr shawl!
Loving the Audre Shawl 🙂
I cannot quite make up my mind! The Carr shawl or the Canary shawl. But the sweater…….oooh!
The O’Keefe pullover. Georgia would have gladly worn it.
The O’Keefe pullover is beautiful!
I love the Carr shawl – that little bit of lace looks like such fun to knit!!
It’s a “no brainer” for this sweater lover….the O’Keefe pullover! Thank you for your generosity.
O’Keeffe, AKA A Sweater Most Coveted
I love the Caravan!!!
Hmmmm, the Carr shawl, no the Audre…no, the Carr…
Harjo shawl
My favorite project is the Carr shawl though the Canary is pretty as eel.
The O’keefe pullover or the Carr shawl draw me in the most.
I like the Canady shawl
I think Druyan would be just the thing for me!
My favorite is the O’Keeffe Pullover.
All the patterns are beautiful! I would knit the Audre scarf.
Love Audra! And that brown!
I really like the Druyan shawl.
The O’Keefe Pullover. I love the detail in those side “panels”, and the boat neck. Thanks for the chance to win this book.
Love the Harjo shawl! I could use it now as the weather finally turned off cold!
Okeeffe pullover for me!
The Carr Shawl is calling my name; beautiful!
Harjo for a shoulder hug
Carr shawl!
I’ve been checking out Instagram and Ravelry for Bristol’s book ever since she posted about it. The Carr shawl is calling my name. I think because my brain is often so tired at the end of the day, that garter stitch plus some lace for interest just seems the ticket.
The O’Keefe Pullover is my favorite although all patterns are superb!
O’Keeffe Pullover! Thanks for yet more exciting ideas and possibilities!
I like the Carr Shawl!
I’ve been dreaming about Canady for a while….by the time I got to my lys they were sold out of the book 🙁 Glad to see it doing so well 🙂
Garments all the way. So the O’Keefe Sweater is my favourite of those shown. All gorgeous though,
Loving the Harjo Shawl!!! I’m all about the angles…
Audre shawl is one of my several favorites.
O’Keefe Pullover. WOW! I also love seeing once again the beautiful yarns you suggest.
I think the Carr shawl looks intriguing!
I absolutely LOVE the Carr shawl! Definitely one I want to try out for myself!
I have to choose one?! Oh dear— ok, I choose Canady. That way I can wrap myself up in it while I knit up Carr.
I can only pick one? Hmmm. I think it’s Canady Shawl by a narrow margin.
Love, love, love the O’Keefe Pullover.
By far and away, the O’Keeffe Pullover!
I saw this book yesterday at my LYS. It is beautiful! Favorite pattern is Harjo shawl.
Hello, MDK, I think Harjo is the piece that caught my eye. Gotta say they are all pretty amazing, and I’m interested in the challenge.
Carr. Delicate and beautiful. Love the long points.
My favorite is Caravan- and that Tilly color is lovely. Also love your enthusiasm for this book!
My favorite would be the Harjo shawl. Lovely!!
Seriously!? This close to Christmas and I’m ready to put aside me current proects(yeah, I said Project(S) and grab this book, muh sticks and yarn, and and a carafe of coffee and schmoosh my way to happiness,
The Harjo shawl is a great place to start amongst these fabulous choices.
The Campo green is a stunning color for this geometric wonder. Can’t wait to begin.
Ooh, my favourite pattern here is the O’Keeffe pullover.
The Carr shawl. No, the O’Keeffe jumper. No. The shawl that came from a snowdrift. No… well, I have to say, I like all of them. The O’Keeffe though is on my shortlist of jumpers to indulge in for myself early next year. So if I had to pick one? Probably that.
Oh, it’s the Audre Shawl. Please!!!
The Audre shawl
Oh! The O’Keefe pullover is wonderful! I want one now! OK, I’m willing to knit my own. Brilliant design!
I think the Audre shawl is beautiful!
I love love LOVE the Carr shawl!!!
I like the Carr shawl. I would cast on right now . . .
I love Harjo, looks so cozy. Spending days in a hospital room with my sick brother and would love to be knitting this!
I would love to try all of those projects, and would probably start with the Audre shawl because it would be warm and cozy and perfect for running to catch the bus on cold Montreal mornings!
Good morning all! When I saw the beautiful shawl on the cover of Bristol ivy’s book, I said to myself”oh my”. But then I saw the , “O’Keefe pullover” I said yaaas. So the O’ Keefe pullover won out! LOL!
Wow, indeed! The Carr shawl spoke to me.
The Carr Shawl looks amazing!
Hard to decide between the Druyan and the Audre because they are both so beautiful, but I vote for the Audre—those lovely cables are too compelling!
My closet is begging for a O’Keefe Pullover.
I love love love the Carr Shawl! And I’ve been eyeing that Fiberspates Tweed Imps color for awhile now…I love that yarn and pattern match-up!
So glad I can finally order this in the US! Yarn dreaming about the Druyan shawl already (<3 Carl Sagan + Ann Druyan 4-ever)
The O’Keefe sweater – such practical elegance!
So hard choose! I would choose the O’Keeffe Sweater as the first. Thank you for the opportunity to win this wonderful give-away.
Thank you for the review. I have been curious about this book. I am definitely interested in the O’Keefe Sweater.
Th Canada shawl! I am a bigger is better shawl person.
The O’Keefe pullover, but they all look beautiful. I’d love to spend next year knitting my way through this book.
These are all so yummy. But I think the Carr Shawl is my favorite. Just the right amount of garter and lace.
The Carr Shawl
I love a big shawl so it’s the Canady Shawl for me.
I absolutely love the Carr Shawl. It’s especially elegant in that dark shade and I love the subtle lace.
Favorite pattern? Hands down, the OKeefe sweater!! I must admit the Druyan shawl is a very close second, tho. 🙂
The Harjo shawl is lovely, although Canady is tempting as well.
Audre shawl — I want to up my cables game!
O’Keeffe Pullover totally or, wait, maybe the Canady Shawl? I can’t decide…. that’s why I totally need the book 🙂
I loved the Carr Shawl…
I am loving the Canady shawl. It’s cold today, and that shawl looks to be just the thing!
Gorgeous! Who can pick just one? The Harjo Shawl calls out to me, but each of these patterns is queue-worthy. Thanks for the chance to win!
Audre! Swoon….
Oh, the Carr shawl is gorgeous! That’s the one I’d make for sure.
Canady Shawl !!
The Harjo shawl is lovely!
Pick one?! The best I can do is the one I would likely make first and that would be Carr Shawl.
The Canady Shawl is whispering in my ear ” Knit me, please ” !
I would live in the O’keeffe pullover!
I love the Carr shawl which my mind sees in Inkling for a friend.
I already subscribe to Snippets…I would love the Druyan shawl 🙂
For sure the O’Keefe. … love the soft mixed with the angles
The O’Keefe Pullover by a mile. Swoon!! I’m planning 2018 to be the Year of the Sweater and the O’Keefe just made the list. (Already a Snippet Subscriber.)
The Carr Shawl would be so nice to knit and wear!
Definitely the Audre Shawl!
The Druyan Shawl! That texture.
I love all the designs, but my favorite is the O’Keefe Pullover. So much to knit, so little time! I must give up something – housecleaning comes to mind…
Wow, that Audre shawl is a beauty!
I am split between two. On one band I love, love, love the elegant simplicity of the O’Keffefe sweater but at same time I think I need, as in cast on right now and proceed to wear to eternity the Canady Shawl.
O’Keeffe.
Carr shawl…I badly need to knit this for my mom
The O’Keefe Shawl!
love the O’Keefe Pullover!
I love the O’Keefe Pullover…I tend to enjoy knitting shawls and wraps more, but am too practical—I wear sweaters more then shawls. And it is a lovely sweater! I’m already on your subscriber list!
Lovely textures all around. Would have to go with the O’Keeffe Pullover as the favorite!
I love them all but want to make the O’Keefe pullover first!
The Carr shawl first !!! Love them all !
O’Keeffe Pullover. I need to do more sweaters.
I’d go for the Carr shawl. Doable, for me, and not too frilly.
Audrey shawl
The Druyan shawl is just lovely!
Harjo caught my eye at Rhinebeck and still has it.
Mmmm. I could not like the reminder that each of us is in charge of our own knitting _any_ more!
Harjo (which keeps correcting to Harju, the friend I’d intend as the recipient!)
Beautiful stuff!!!
Who wouldn’t want an O’Keefe Pullover in their wardrobe?! Absolutely fab!
The Carr Shawl – love them all!
Definitely the O’Keeffe pullover for me! But the shawls are gorgeous as well.
Choose? Almost impossible, but Audre has it for me by a smidge. Thanks for introducing the book — I hadn’t heard about it yet!
So hard to pick – probably, from this post only, the Canady shawl. LOVE.
I’m all about comfort knitting so the Carr Shawl would be first but that O’Keeffe Pullover … wow! I may have to go outside my comfort zone and try that one!
I love the O’Keeffe sweater! But also the Canady shawl!
I am in awe of the O’Keefe pullover. I definitely think I need to add it to my already too long queue
Ooh, the O’Keeffe Pullover is my favorite today, but I’d probably pick a different one tomorrow. Squee!
O’Keeffe Pullover I am in love with you !
My favorite is the Audre Shawl. Looks fabulous, and that Tilly shade is perfect.
I really love the Canady Shawl.
The Druyan shawl is most intriguing. I love knitting shawls and they all look like great fun to knit.
I love a big shawl too. I NEED the Canady shawl. Perfect for the chilly season!
For me, it’s definitely the O’Keefe! I love the subtle details.
The O’Keeffe Pullover – is beautiful. already subscript to snippets!
Wow-I love the look of that Audre shawl. Squishy here I come.
Oh, wish list worthy!
LOVE that sweater-perfect for how I like to dress.
Harjo looks fasinating
Candy shawl!! Gorgeous!
I love the Carr shawl! Of course, I love knitting most shawls, but anything that wanders off the well-beaten triangle construction pathand shows me new scenery intrigues me.
I love the Audre shawl!
Hmmm that Carr shawl seems to be the one most likely to be knit by me!
It was a tossup – O’Keeffe or Canady but since I have to choose one, I’ll pick O’Keeffe. Now off to Ravelry to view all the patterns!!
The Druyan shawl. I’m a sucker for chevrons!
O’Keefe but in that gorgeous Caravan color (OMG!!)
Very beautiful patterns. I liked the Harjo shawl pattern with its unique shape.
I love the Carr Shawl – it looks fairly simple but so much fun!
Carr Shawl for me. Love the sweater, too, but I’d probably not finish it.
Hands down, the O’Keefe pullover.
O’Keefe definitely O’Keefe- simple. Elegant. Want
Wow! The Harjo shawl reminded me of spiderwebs found with morning dew. Captivating to say the least. Can’t wait to check out this book!
I love the Canady shawl. And the O’Keefe pullover! I’d happily knit and wear both.
Uffda! Only one? Audre.
I love the O’Keeffe pullover!!
The Carr shawl. And I am going to go right now and put a section of simple lace into a garter stitch cowl I am making. Thanks for declaring it Comfort Knitting! I’m on a mission to remove the term Mindless Knitting from my vocabulary — there is no shortage of mindlessness in the world already, no need for me to add any.
I’m gonna need to make the Audre shawl. So lovely.
The O’Keefe is everything I dream of in a sweater. Instant love!
Love the Canady shawl!
I love th O’Keeffe sweater.
I love the Canady shawl!
The big Canady shawl is my favorite!
O’Keefe pullover. Simple,classic,a wardrobe staple for years. I love Snippets !
Hard to pick one, but I think the combo of yarn and pattern displayed in the Canady Shawl did me in. I would love to knit everything you showed, but Canady would (unapologetically) demand to be 1st!
I would love to make and wear the O’Keeffe Pullover! It is a style I would wear all the time, with lovely details and a flattering shape. I also really liked the Audre Shawl (& all the others, too!).
Definitely the Audre Shawl!
I love the O’Keefe pullover. I would love to knit it in a teal colored yarn. Mary D.
I like them all but the O’Keeffe pullover knocks my socks off. It’s drape, simplicity, with a hint of sophistication in surprising design elements makes my heart flutter. A new experience in my knitting journey.
I like the Carr shawl-simple and elegant
I would knit the Canada shawl to start with! So many amazing designs in this book. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win a copy.
I love them all, but especially the Canady.
I am already signed up for snippets, although I read your blog EVERY day! I would love to make the huge big shawl, so Canady it is. Although I also choose it because it seems to be a play off Canada, which is where I live! thanks for the contest….
The Audre Shawl is my favorite!
They are all lovely, but I’d have to say the O’Keefe sweater for its elegant simplicity. Beautiful.
O’Keefe!
I love the O’ Keeffee sweater is lovely and just the right amount of simple, but caravan is a favorite too!
The Carr shawl is my favorite. Something warm to snuggle into sounds very good….
O’Keefe. No, Carr. No wait, it’s Canady. Yes, definitely O’Keefe. With a generous side of pretty much everything else….. What?!? I have FOUR daughters and a teeny fashion forward granddaughter who makes a bee-line for my knitting bag the minute she sees me and artfully drapes herself with long scraps of yarn.. I’m already picturing her in a cloudy blue-grey tee-tiny tunic-length O’Keefe with her rainbow unicorn tights and her red glitter cowgirl boots with a tiny Carr draped over her shoulders with the tails crossed in front and tied in back so it will stay on at the playground…..
Bristol is a wonder isn’t she?…I pictured myself in the Carr shawl so I’ll go with that as a favorite, but really all are [heart emoji heart emoji]
love the O’Keeffe pullover!
Because I covet all of it, I just added the book to my xmas list. Merry Christmas!!
That O’Keeffe sweater has my name on it!
Audre Shawl, delightful!
Really hard to choose. They are all beautiful but I love the O’Keefe pullover. Very beautiful!
Well, they’re all pretty spectacular, aren’t they. Because Bristol Ivy! But I keep getting drawn to the Druyan Shawl. That texture. Those edges!
Love them all; Carr shawl would be my first pattern to knit followed by O’Keefe.
A tough decision—I’ll go with the Audre shawl with the Canady shawl close behind. Actually, I love all the patterns!
What a wonderful selection to whet our appetites for a new year cast on! The Audre and Carr shawls caught my eye and imagination right away but the cables and texture of Audre win out.
The Harjo shawl is glorious. Triangle, triangle, triangle, Hooray1
Only one?? Carr Shawl! (But also Canady Shawl!)
Canady shawl ❤️
That Harjo Shawl. Wow.
I love me a great shawl!! Canady is speaking to me!! Y’all are the best – thank you!!
the O’Keefe pullover, for sure. And I love knitting w/ thin yarn. Mary McMahon
Hands down — the O’Keeffe Pullover.
I love the Carr shawl…comfort knitting with a twist:)
Love them all, Harjo is my favorite.
No doubt for me – it’s the O’Keeffe Pullover all the way. That’s stunning!
Love the Carr shawl. Comfort knitting for me!
Love the Carr shawl—the lace design reminds me of daisies (my favorite flower). Recently knitted a pattern of Bristol’s and she was most helpful in answering my questions. Very kind of you to offer this giveaway. I am a Snippets subscriber.
Okeeffe is lovely.
I am entranced by the Harjo Shawl!
Definitely the O’Keeffe Pullover!!! And yes, definitely in Sylph.
I’ve been wanting to knit O’Keefe since the first time I saw it. It’s absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the chance!
Oh my, such intriguing and compelling patterns. The Audre shawl is calling my name, it looks so comfortfortable and cozy.
I love the Audre Shawl – those cables!
Harjo and Canady… oh, and about six months of non-stop knitting time to be able to create all the lovely projects that await. No need to eat, clean, bathe, shop, work — just knit and Netflix. Pretty please??!!
Harjo shawl-seems to wrap you 360 degrees of warmth
The O’Keeffe sweater. Love the clean lines with the texture interest at the bottom.
Do I really HAVE to pick 1? The Carr shawl or the Canady shawl. I love them both! Thanks for the surprise contest!
The O’keeffe pullover is exquisite!!!!
O’Keefe!!!
Carr shawl!
Wow! Hard to chose but I would start with Carr. I am currently knitting rather plain chevrons so Druyan looks intriguing and who wouldn’t want a O’Keeffe pullover.
The Canady Shawl caught my eye from the moment I saw the cover. Six feet sounds about right!
saradenbo on ravelry
It’s the Carr!!!!!
So hard to choose! But I’m going with Harjo, which is shaped to wrap around your shoulders and neck so nicely.
Beautiful projects. Love to win this book
.
Audre Shawl – intriguing cables and looking warm soft and squooshy
The O’Keefe pullover is stunning and classy
Beautiful patterns! I recently saw the Georgia O’Keeffe exhibit so i woukd start with the O’Keeffe sweater.
Hard to choose among so much goodness, but I think the Audre Shawl is what I keep getting drawn back to. Classic and gorgeous. Thank you for sharing these thoughts on the book. I am completely intrigued!
My favorite pattern is the Canady Shawl. I completely agree that a generously sized shawl is the way to go.
Love the O’Keefe pullover, although I would like a neckline variation. This neckline won’t do my big bust any favors I fear.
I love the Carr shawl!
I love the O’Keefee pullover!!
The O’Keefe pullover is stunning!
Oh my goodness – I can’t decide! #1 would be the O’Keefe Pullover and a close 2nd would be the Harjo Shall. I love them all!
It’s the Canady Shawl. I LOVE a big wrap up!
The O’Keefe looks very necessary!
Goodness – what loveliness!!! While there’s an abundance to choose from, the Carr Shawl is my fave!
Oh my, the O’Keeffe pullover!
Hard to pick one, but I’ll go with the Harjo Shawl . Then there was the O’Keefe sweater (but I don’t knit sweaters), and the Audre Shawl. So many lovely patterns!
I am so drawn to the wearability and stunning graphic lines of the Harjo shawl.
I had the same reaction to the O’Keeffe pullover. It is beautiful!
The book sounds intriguing.
I would choose O’Keeffe, of the patterns shown, but they all look fun.
I have to go with the O’Keeffe Pullover. I love those side panels!
canady shawl is lovely.
I love the O’Keeffe Pullover.
I love the Harjo shawl
The Audrey shawl because of the cables….love cables on anything
Carr shawl, for sure. The book will be a Christmas present for my daughter. I taught her to knit but she has become the teacher!
I love the Carr shawl, and the whole book!!
The Canary Shawl is my favorite–I love the idea of being elegantly warm, even if I’m on the couch in my jammies…
The O’Keefe pullover is stunning! I would live in that thing.
I meant Canady, of course. Darned autocorrect!
That O’Keeffe is stunning. I can’t wait to dig into that pattern more!
Harjo is my choice although they are all gorgeous.
The Audre Shawl is IT!!
Love the O’Keefe pullover. It would look fabulous on pretty much all body types. And yes I signed up
All of them! But if I had to choose, then O’Keeffe Pullover. Thanks!
Hard choices! But O’Keeffe is my most coveted.
Hello! Love Bristol Ivy’s work! I am torn between the O’Keefe sweater – how fluid and flattering it looks and the Carr shawl – love the little bits of lace and your term “comfort knitting”
thank you for the giveway opportunity!
I love looking at new and inventive ways of thinking and knitting … thanks (as always) for the info on the book!
and as I am cold, the Candy Shawl ….
That O’Keefe is gorgeous!
Beautiful things. The Canaday Shawl is my favorite.
The Carr shawl—so simple and yet so elegant!
the Carr shawl seems to be the perfect size and challenge for me
I’ve been dying to make the Harjo shawl ever since I first saw it on Ravelry!
The O’Keefe Pullover – A Sweater Most Coveted indeed!
O’Keeffe sweater is a favorite
What a wonderful review, love the yarn suggestions. I love the Canady Shawl and can imagine it in so many colors.
I love the texture of the Audre Shawl!
Harjo.
All the patterns look wonderful. The O’Keefe pullover is really my kind of style. And since it is snowing in central Mississippi today (surprise!), I’ll choose that. Thanks.
I haven’t made a sweater in eons, but the O’Keeffe is calling my name.
Harjo shawl for sure.
The O’Keefe pullover is a beauty!
Toss up between the Harjo and Carr shawls
My favorite is the O’Keefe pullover. A classic for years to come!
Garbo no Harjo shawl!
Bristol Ivy is one of my favorite designers! I think o’keefe is stunning. Thanks for the chance to win an awesome giveaway!
O’Keeffe Pullover for me – I have been sitting on my pretty yarn and looking for the perfect sweater to knit for myself. Not too tight, not too short – and this is it! SO gorgeous.
The Canady Shawl is my pick. I just love a Shawl I can wrap up in and I like the play of angles and yarn overs.
Lovely book, I’m doing her knit along on Craftsy.
The Harjo shawl is just begging to be made in Milo Baltico.
The Okeefe Pullover. It’s just the right amount of swingy
Bristol is sooooo talented! I had a tough time deciding, but I like the Carr shawl too.
It’s the Carr Shawl for me! Followed closely by …, …, …. Wow!
I’m already receiving Snippets. Thanks for the contest!
Harjo is my choice
Okeefe for sure!
Oh my! Choices. Down to two and would probably plan for both — the O’Keefe Pullover and the Canady Shawl.
Difficult choice, but I think I’ll choose the O’Keefe Pullover. I’m into selfish knitting (just dreaming — it’s December 8 and I have nine grandchildren!) these days. Already subscribed to Snippets.
So excited to read this book – I am slightly (okay more than that) obsessed with the O’Keefe pullover. Picking a color for it is the problem.
I love the Harjo shawl best but they are all post giftalong yummy.
Milo is stunning!
Hard to name one! How about first to make?
Carr Shawl
My goodness, those patterns are gorgeous! The O’Keeffe Pullover is my top pick. The book is a winner!
The first shawl – those triangles? Ridges!! And the perfect shape to stay on my shoulders.
I am sorely in need of comfort knitting, and an Object of Solace, and that fits the bill.
Definitely the O’Keeffe pullover.
I love the Canady Shawl!
The Canady shawl.
My favorite is the Harjo shawl, but they’re all intriguing.
The O’Keefe pullover stopped me mid-scroll! So pretty!
I love the Carr Shawl!
They’re all fabulous, but the Carr shawl is really calling my name!
I like the Carr shawl – easy to gift and looks like a pleasure to knit. Thanks for the contest.
Either the Carr Shawl or the O’Keeffe Pullover!
Harjo definitely!
I’m not a sweater knitter- but that O’Keefe looks like it would flatter many shapes! (Already subscribed to Snippets).
I love the Audre shawl Gorgeous.
I do love many of them but the Canady has my heart, completely.
Love them all but if I have to pick – the O’Keefe and the Carr.
I love so many of these patterns but Canady has my heart, completely.
The O”Keefe pullover is divine! Although a close second is Audre.
I love the Canady shawl!
The Audre shawl appeals to me with all that texture.
Audre Shawl, please!
Hard to choose! I love the shape of Harjo.
O’Keefe! No…Harjo! Oh…O’Keefe! Maybe. Harjo! Audre! HARJO. That’s my final answer. For now.
Love the Carr Shawl!
I’m fascinated by the Canady shawl. I want to see what it looks like spread out – probably an unusual shape.
The Canady shawl is beee-youtiful!
I like them all, but the O’Keeffe pullover beckons to me.
I think I’d have to say the Carr shawl!
The Carr shawl – definitely the Carr shawl. All the projects look gorgeous.
Harjo! But then O’Keefe definitely grabs my attention. I want to knit them all
Oh me oh my O’Keefe!
The Audre Shawl is gorgeous! Thank you for the heads up on Bristol Ivy’s new book !!
I like Canady best right now. I’m sitting in my cold office and a massive shawl sounds just heavenly right now!
Oh,, that O’Keefe! Such beautiful lines, such drape!Yeah,I want that.
The book looks fabulous! Those colors of yarn! My favorite is the Canady Shawl. ❤️
The Canady Shawl is my favorite!
I need more sweaters and love the O’Keefe pullover. I am already subscribed to Snippets.
O’Keefe pullover!
Love that Audre Shawl! And thank you for the giveaway opportunity.
O’Keeffe Pullover FTW!
O’Keefe! I am a sweater knitter, after all!
I really like the O’Keeffe Pullover.
That Carr shawl is beautiful! I took Bristol’s workshop at Twist Fibrefest in August and it was great – so inspiring.
The O’Keefe Pullover and the Carr shawl!
The O’Keeffe Pullover is definitely my fave. Thanks for the chance to win!
The Carr shawl would be my car knitting!
The Carr Shawl!
The O’Keefe Pullover is Awesome….in hush I think!
The Carr shawl and comfort knitting sound wonderful right now. But all the patterns look great.
O’Keefe is just beyond excellent!
O’keefe sweater since I am sweater crazy and have been for 50 years. Always looking for new and different sweater ideas.
Love the Canady Shawl–looks like lots of interesting angles and lines. Gives me an idea to perhaps do some sections in different shades of a color, three or four of the shades shown of Sylph would be lovely. Or perhaps a softly variegated tone.
Drunk shawl because the textures are so varied
I meant Druyan shawl but my phone auto corrected to drunk – not what I meant at all
I’d love to knit an O’Keefe Pullover. It looks almost like a peplum, probably very flattering!
I really like the Carr Shawl, but the Audre Shawl calls to me as well!
Gotta be the O’Keefe pullover. Simple and stylish
Love the Canady Shawl.
It’s just gotta be the Harjo Shawl!
I’m having a hard time choosing between the Harjo Shawl (because I have a thing for lines – and those triangles!) and the Canady Shawl (because who can resist six feet of shawl?). Though it has been very cold, so a big cozy bundle of shawl wins and Canady Shawl it is. Plus Fyberspates Vivacious DK looks like a beauty to work with.
There is a really high proportion of things I actually would knit – almost all of them. Forced to choose just one, maybe I would go for the Carr shawl, but that Audre Shawl is calling to me, and so is the O’Keefe pullover … hard choices!
The O’Keefe pullover is really fab.
O’Keefe pullover
Wow–that book looks fabulous. I love the shawls but I think I love that O’Keefe pullover too so I would go with that one!
Love the O Keeffe sweater….
o’keefe pullover caught my eye. Also Everyone of the Shawls!
I am particularly taken by the Audre shawl. I am not sure if my cable technique is strong enough to make the Audre shawl, but I would love to try. The texture is alluring. I also love the Carr shawl (second choice) as I like the combination of lace and the geometric patterns in the shawl. I love the colors of both shawls in the photos!
Oooohhhh! Canady
I love Canaday! Thanks!
It would have to be the O’Keeffe Pullover!
What to choose, what to choose? The OKeefe Pullover is simply gorgeous!
Definitely the Audre shawl.
O’Keefe. Love it!
I really like the unique lines in the Arbus pattern. How cool!
The Canary shawl, it looks perfect in size and drape.
Fabulous book. I could (and maybe will) knit them all, starting with that Carr shawl! Thanks for adding to my project queue and for the give-away!
Wow they’re still such amazing patterns!
Hard decision – but I think Candy Shawl – would love to have it in some sort of a fuscia color !
Definitely the O’Keeffe Pullover! It looks like it would be an extremely flattering sweater to wear and interesting to knit!
The O’Keefe pullover is really beautiful!
It’s got to be the Canady Shawl for me … not that I don’t love all the others!
I think I like the O’Keefe Pullover the best.
Carr shawl–perfect combo of easy knitting with a little lace to keep things interesting
O’keefe pullover is so lovely. Thanks!
O Keefe pullover
I’m game and the O’Keeffe Pullover.
I must pick that Canady Shawl as my favorite to own and use. Maybe I could get one of my kids to knit it for me?
Hard to pick just one but the Carr Shawl caught my attention
The O’Keefe Pull over is amazing. This book would be perfect for the way my brain works. I look at a pattern and immediately start planning the modifications I would make so it would be better for me. I love to mash up two or more patterns into one. I’m supposed to be knitting a shawl pattern for a KAL and it is going to be a cowl with a mashup going on – the lace portion from the shawl and a stripe texture portion from another pattern. I think I will put this book on my wish list! Thank you for the give away.
What a fascinating book! I’m having a hard time choosing between the Harjo Shawl and the Canady Shawl for my favorites from this post.
The O’Keefe pullover is pretty awesome!
I love that “knitting is a blank slate” quote! Favorite pattern? Harjo shawl. And not that you asked, but…Backyard Fiberworks in Pumpkin, no, Wine Dark Sea is my favorite yarn!
The Harjo shawl is so intriguing. I would love to win the giveaway.
Thanks for doing this. I love your daily entries to my mailbox. It’s the one I never delete!
O’Keeffe Pullover
The Canady shawl, please!
The Carr shawl (with the Audre shawl vying for first place)!
Wow, wow, wow! I would cast on the Carr Shawlwith the Fyberspates 4-ply in either Dove Stone or Deep Aqua. Beautiful book, totally “Outside the Box”!
Oh golly! I love the O’Keefe pullover best of these pix. It’s like a much-loved Eileen Fischer tunic of mine, but better, and actually something I could knit!
Definitely the O’Keeffe pullover…
I love the O’Keeffe pullover. Or maybe that’s just cuz it shares my name (with an extra f like Georgia spelled it).
I have to agree that the O’Keefe sweater is the sweater of my dreams.
The Audre shawl–love those cables!
I’m going to have to go with the Carr Shawl. So lovely!
Oh, the O’Keeffe Pullover is gorgeous!
Audre to fulfil my obsession with cables.
I absolutely love the Canady Shawl! Definitely my favorite. The simplicity and clean lines are perfect. Looking forward to more knittastic news in the subscription too.
I would look so nice in the O’Keefe pullover:)
I’m definitely a shawl person – I love the Audre shawl.
Canady shawl is my favorite.
Aaahh! Isn’t Bristol awesome!? 😀 I follow her on Instagram, and was watching her IG story yesterday about steeking…which I’ve never done before, but have watched others nervously *snip snip snip*. Her video is one I would watch right before really going for it. She relatable and funny and just great. I must say, after viewing your choice from the book, I adore the the Audre Shawl (because I cabled without a cable needle before I knew it was a *thing*…and I really like the visual architecture of cables) but the O’Keeffe sweater runs a *very* close second…almost a tie, really. Georgia O’Keeffe is my favorite painter, my “deserted island” artist. The O’Keeffe top is one that would look good on anyone. I still haven’t complete my first adult sweater, but I would knit double time to get this off the needles and onto my back. And then I would prance through the snow in public with no coat until people took notice, *just* so I could say, “Yeah, I knit this. 🙂 ” Thanks for the giveaway ladies!
I like the Canady shawl best, but would probably make the sweater IF I had the book.
Thank you for the Generous Giveaway.
Merry Christmas to all at MDK!
Audre Shawl
Love the OKeefe sweater! I already subscribe to Snippets. Please include me if this contest extends to Canada. Thanks.
Caravan is my choice!
My grandmother, Willia Carr, would have loved that Carr scarf!
Love the Carr shawl
For me, it would have to be the Canady Shawl! Love it!
They are all beautiful but the Carr shawl would be the one I’d cast on first
I see others like the Carr shawl too! Love my snippets!

Some lovelies to gawk at but I’d have to go with the Audre shawl. You had me at smooshy.
Love the look of the O’Keefe, even have a skein of Sylph in my stash so I could at least cast on………
So hard to pick just one! The Harjo Shawl is stunning though….
Love the Audre Shawl!
Wow, lots of amazing patterns. I love the O’Keeffe pattern. I also love the idea that the book includes information on how to adapt a pattern into a custom piece. I think the O’Keeffe is just the start…
Love the Harjo shawl
The Carr shawl has stolen my heart and your yarn suggestions for it are scrumptious!
I totally love the audre shawl!
I live the Carr Shawl,very much my style.
Love them all, but covet the Canady Shawl the most!
Love the O’Keefe sweater!
I choose the Druyan Shawl. Growing up so close to Lake Michigan, I love to construct items that suggest waves to me!
So hard to choose! At this moment, the Carr Shawl. Who knows in another moment?
I’m wildly in love with the O’Keeffe Pullover! It’s stunning!!
Harjo! Especially when you said merino/linen….Mmmmm, linen. Thanks for having a contest!

The Audre Shawl is a show stopper! And one of my favorites.
I’m all in for the O’Keeffe pullover and chance to try Sylph.
I think my favorite is Audre because I would enjoy trying out that cable edge!
Carr shawl is beautiful, although I also love the Audre shawl!

The Carr Shawl. It would be gorgeous in the Pumpkin Backyard Fiberworks. Just the think to punch up a blah winter.
The O’Keffe Pullover is wonderful! And, I have already decided to start a pullover for myself
after the new year begins. Perfect!!
The Carr Shawl looks amazing…. warm and cozy with sneaky bits of color!
The book??? Oh I need it just like I need more yarn ( duh, a given)
Merry Christmas from me
KATE Manning
Love all of them- but if I had to pick today, it would be the Carr shawl. I’m in the mood for some comfort knitting
The Canada Shawl is calling my name!
I like Audre best, but I would be most likely to knit the Carr shawl!

The patterns are all calling to me but I think I would start with the Harjo Shawl.
Thank you for the opportunity!
The Carr shawl would be first on my list!

What a fantastic review. The Audience Shawl is perfection.
Definitely hard to pick a fave. I will go with the Audre shawl. And I’m already signed up for Snippets.
The Carr shawl. Just enough lace. Really beautiful.
Audre Shawl is my favorite. Had the opportunity to meet Amor a few years ago when she was getting started. Trunk show in Albuquerque. Wonderful gal, wonderful yarns!
Canady Shawl looks dreamy. And there’s nothing more dreamy than wrapping yourself up in miles of knitting!
Caravan, how lovely
Canady looks so luscious and warm!
Wow. I want to make them all.
Oh, oh, O’Keeffe pullover without a doubt!
I’m kind of in love with the Canady Shawl! It would be wonderful to snuggle up with!

Hmm, it’s a toss up between the O’Keefe sweater and the Carr shawl.
I best like Carr Shawl.
That O’Keefe pullover looks like a dream to wear.
I’m torn between the Audre and Canady shawls. They, and the rest of the patterns, are each lovely in their own way and would totally scratch different knitting itches.
Head over heels for the O’Keefe pullover and Canady shawl!
The carr shawl…..I’m a comfort anything at this time!

I must have an O’keefe pullover, I love it!!! At the speed with which I knit… I hope it fits whatever shape my body is when I’m 60… (that’s a joke. Kinda. Cuz I’m 37).
Unbelievable collection of patterns! The Audre shawl is my favorite!
O’Keefe pullover is amazing, as is MDK!

I love Canady–looks so cozy and fun to make.
The O’keefe pullover is totally my jam!
There are so many great patterns here. Besides O’Keeffe, which is classic, I also love the cardigans Pina and Woodman. I rarely buy pattern books anymore, but this is one that I think I need to own. Even if I don’t win it in a drawing!
Actually I like the details of the shawl on the book’s cover. That is intriguing,
The O’Keeffe sweater made me gasp. Holy moley.
Carr Shawl is my fav. Simple yet unique.
The Canady Shawl is most lovely to me.

The O’Keefe Pullover is so classy and gorgeous!
Sylph just slays me. I can only imagine how it looks and feels in person.
I’m not generally a sweater knitter so my first instinct was the Carr shawl. Then I looked again and thought, “The O’Keefe sweater. Definitely I would knit that sweater. I could wear it forever.”
The Canady shawl would be perfect both to knit and wrap around myself as we enter winter!
Audre shawl, definitely. Yum.

Druyan
Canady shawl is calling me!
I am intrigued by the Carr Shawl

The Carr shawl is great. Love the shape and the lace. It is also named after one of my all time favourite artist Emily Carr. And the original was done in Indigodragonfly yarn a very favourite yarn.
The Carr shawl does it for me. Interesting, elegant, about the wearer not the knit.
So many lovely pieces! Audrey Shawl peeks my interest!

I would have a hard time choosing only one! Narrowed down to the O’Keeffe Pullover or the Canady Shawl. Such a wonderful way to present patterns and your yarns. Thank you!
The Audre shawl. And it’s glorious in tgat brown but I think I would knit it in a cloudy grey.
The Carr shawl. I would never have thought to use a simple triangle shawl pattern to make that shape!
The O’Keefe pullover is my favorite. It has a timeless and effortless elegance, both femininity and dignity. A garment one could wear for thirty years.
The Canady Shawl is a stunner so that would be the first one I’d knit
Carr shawl is my favorite. It looks like it would be interesting to knit but not overly complicated.
Carr shawl looks fun to knit !
What a wonderful book! After looking at all the pictures available in the book and in your article, I have to say the Canady Shawl would be my first project and favorite. And I’ve worked with the Fyberspates Vivacious DK and it would be a great choice of yarn to work with again!
Looks like an absolutely delicious book. Thanks for sharing
The 0’Keefe Sweater is beautiful and simple.
Oooooh, I love the Carr shawl! I’m not enough into lace to make an entire lace shawl, but I love The shawls that have just a little hint of lacework in them. 🙂

Thanks. Audre shawl is my favorite. love the book
I love the Carr Shawl.

Thanks for the opportunity to win such a phenomenal book by a phenomenal knitter
O’Keeffe no contest
What an amazing collection! My fav of what you featured is the O’Keefe Pullover. The shape will flatter many different bodies. Love your choice of yarn to match!
OKeefe! Just saw an O’keefe exhibit. This is reflective of her for sure!
Harjo Shawl because of its elegant simplicity. The focus is on texture and shape.
Carr shawl!
I want to knit all of these beautiful patterns!
Love, love that Harjo. But then, I love a whole bunch of ’em
I am always so attracted to huge shawls, even though I think I’ve made only one — so Canady for dreaming, and Carr for reality.
I love the Canady Shawl! Not usually a big shawl knitter, but this one…something about the scale of it with those beautiful lines…lovely!
The Carr shawl for shure
So. Hard. To. Choose. (But in the end, the thought of wrapping myself in six feet of the Canady Shawl is the one that I can’t stop…thinking.)
I love the Carr Shawl!
O’Keefe sweater — would look great on anyone! gorgeous
The O’Keeffe sweater! So wearable.
Harjo! Love the angles and the possibilities for mixing yarns and using scraps. Such a beautiful and creative design IMO! Love.

O’Keefe pullover is awesome. Just started following Bristol on Instagram and am so inspired. Thanks for a contest.
My favorite is the Druyan Shawl–all that lovely texture!
I’d knit Canada Shawl in a heartbeat. Blanket garment = Blarment

Choosing just one of these beautiful patterns is torture, but I will say the O’Keefe Pullover would make me happy while knitting it.
The Audre shawl is calling my name. Looks so squishy and warm!
The O’Keefe pullover is my favorite but here in Texas a shawl would be a better bet. I choose the Carr shawl. All of the patterns are woderful.
Love the Harjo shawl.
The shawls are gorgeous, but I think you’re right, the Okeeffe sweater is the most amazing.

O’keefe pullover
The Pina cardigan is stunning. Thank you for telling me about the book and for the contest.
All of them are beautiful, but the one I’d most like to cast on right this very minute is the O’Keeffe pullover. Actually, I’d cast it on twice and knit up one for both of my nieces.
The O’Keeffe pullover, although it’s hard to choose just one.
I love the Carr shawl, though the Dryuan wrap is a very close second. O really enjoy the way Dryuan plays with textures, but that gorgeous lace is just wow.
Audre shawl or Druyan shawl!
I can see myself wiling away the winter in a Carr Shawl. Pick me! Pick me!
Tough call. I’m leaning towards the Carr shawl, although the OKeefe sweater is drop dead as well.

The O’Keefe Sweater is a no brainer!!! How many ways can you wear it? Gorgeous dressed up or down!
The Audre shawl grabbed me hard. Loving it…
The Carr Shawl looks like a wonderful slow adventure in knitting. Yum!!

OMG I have seen this book all over the place. I guess I am going to have to own it. I love the O’Keefe Pullover. O am ready to take on a sweater for myself.
It’s so hard to choose! I love both the Audre Shawl and the O’Keeffe Pullover.
Carr Shawl. The patterns are all as luscious as the yarns you’ve shown.
Carr Shawl–to start with! This book looks so intriguing..keeping my fingers crossed (makes it hard to knit, but I’ll persevere.)
Definitely the Canady Shawl! Gorgeous!
It’s hard to choose, as they are all lovely and interesting, but the O’Keeffe Pullover is classic.
The Carr shawl! Lovely and oh, so bearable.
Bristol Ivy has beautiful patterns and her newest book looks like it will provide a lot of inspiration. I really like the O’Keefe sweater too
Carr and Canady shawls are standout designs!

Duyan shawl for the win! I’m knitting a chevron blanket and I’m really enjoying the interplay of knits and purls. It’s meditative yet fun.
The Carr shawl–just what I need this time of year!
Oh. My. Word. The Canady Shawl, please. (and I had to un-autocorrect [yes, it’s a word] away from Canada TWICE, before my computer was absolutely certain I wasn’t just homesick for the North Lands, or something. Where, I assure you, the Canady Shawl would come in handy All.The.Time from now until May)
The glimpse of pattern (and subtle color) for the Canady shawl draws me in…need to knit it…thanks for asking…
Carr Shawl
The Harjo Shawl is my favorite. I love a shawl that will not slide around and fall off. I like knowing just by looking at the picture of it that it will stay where I put it, and will also let me pin or stick or magnet ithe fronts wherever I want them. (The magnet idea is for very small smooth magnets that are round or square that you can get on eBay or hobby stores like Michel’s or JoAnn’s. You put one on the underside of the shawl, arrange what will be draped over it, and put the second magnet in a fold of the part draped over so it doesn’t show. Genius. Those tiny magnets are incredibly strong. Just don’t wave your credit card or phone over the spot to be safe. I can’t take credit for this idea, it was a teacher at the Madrona Fiber Arts retreat held in Tacoma, Wa every year in February. Mary…. Ack! I can’t remember her name! She was teaching dyeing scarves with different resists. Drat!
I do love Bristol’s designs. They are beautiful, inventive, and make me want to be a better knitter. It’s impossible to pick a favorite, but first on my list of these examples would be O’Keefe. Having looked at all 15 designs on Ravelry, I want them all! Please, please pick me!!
Love the Carr Shawl
I love all of them but am smitten with the Audre Shawl.
Ooh, the Audre is lovely and perfect in that brown shade.
Dryuan shawl is beautiful!
It has to be that gorgeous O’Keeffe pullover sweater. Such a pretty version!

Okeefe pullover. I’m in a sweater phase
I love the O’Keefe Pullover, but those shawls are all so gorgeous too.
O’Keeffe Pullover is so me, and I’d love to learn about Bristol’s designing methods – SO unique.
The Arbus sweater looks so interesting and an adventure to knit!
Harjo or Druyan or Audre Shawls! I love shawls! Do I have to pick just one to be a legitimate entry? All right, Druyan! Thanks for the fun and joy!
Harjo? Canady? So hard to choose.
I’ll say Harjo leads the pack for me.
