Bristow finito

Pattern: Bristow (size small), by Melanie Gibbons
Yarn: Merino et Soie (worsted weight 80/20 merino/silk), recycled from gorilla arms sweater
Modifications: If I made any major ones, they're slipping my mind. There were a few obvious errors in the pattern, but it's a well designed sweater that fits my body shape very nicely. Mods weren't necessary.


I was a bit nervous about setting it down on the grass, but it escaped with only a little ant and a piece of dry grass clinging to it. The button band is less wonky than it looks here. The grass isn't exactly an even surface, so distortions happened.


It fits! And like a dream, too. You know how I was worried about the sleeves being too long? They're perfect. I don't think they grew at all in the wash. I was obviously in an altered state when I measured them and came to that conclusion.
