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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • canady shawl is lovely.

  • I love the O’Keeffe Pullover.

  • 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!

  • 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!!
