Let’s just take a
minute here and talk about how awesome Brooklyn Tweed is. Again. While I’m
always finding myself in love with BT collections, along with the rest of the
knitting world, but there are two reasons that I’m especially happy about BT
men:
1. The
world really needs more modern men’s sweaters
2. Those
sweaters should be modeled by (really) well-styled bearded men in a loft.
Obviously.
Tragically for
me, the boy that has stolen my heart is also less than fond of handknits,
especially garments. (I’m confident I’ll get him one day, but today is not that
day) The other knitworthy guy in my life is my dad and, well.. his wardrobe just
happens to be lacking in the classic woolly sweater department. So, I send off
the lookbook with an offer to make him a sweater if he liked any of them and he
responded with a vote for Timberline because “it would fit well should [he]
decide to start smoking a pipe in [his] later years.”

This sweater was
one of my favourites after a first look through, possibly because it reminds me
of Exeter (which has been in the back of my brain as a bucket list sweater for
ages). Though I have to say, Dad, way to pick the sweater with the greatest
yardage requirement. Seriously. Never mind that long torsos and gorilla arms
run in the family, both of which necessitate yardage-eating sweater
modifications. And while I’d love to tackle this in the recommended Shelter, I
also really like paying rent and eating food. So, I was brainstorming possible
subs and I’m leaning toward something like Briggs and Little Regal, or maybe
even just Cascade 220.
So, here’s to
men’s sweaters! And tweed! And dreams of fall!
What were your
favourites from this collection? Are you already thinking about fall knits?
