Modification Monday: City Sweater
Original Pattern: small bygenser with raglanfelling and mitten building chart
Knitter Extraordinaire: Marit (Ravelry ID)
Mods: Originally used elements of a charted mitten design on a plain sweater design of her own making, and then eventually created a pattern for it! Project page for this sweater can be found here.
What Makes This Awesome: I love it when people take a fabulous stranded design from a smaller project and blow it up bigger on a garment. This sweater is amazing- the wonderful rainbow gradient, and the stripes at the top balance it out. I love the detail of the smaller houses on the sleeve cuffs, and the pale grey and simple stockinette provides all the right balance for the details at the hem. And the design looked so great, Marit developed a pattern inspired by her modification, as the houses were quite different than the original pattern that inspired her. I love it when a mod becomes a fantastic new design!
