Original Pattern: Milo
Knitter Extraordinaire: Meike (Ravelry ID)
Mods: Used a lovely charted design from this sock pattern and altered the sizing and decreases. Great details can be found on her project page, here.
What Makes This Awesome: This is a beautiful example of using colourwork in a knit that didn't originally call for colourwork. Altering the gauge and using the colourblocking stripes of flowers gives this little pullover vest such beauty. I don't think this could be a more perfect piece- it's fresh, light, and flat out stunning.

Aww, how cute! I seem to only have little boys to knit for lately. Someone should have a girl...
Oh...what fun! BTW... just saw Alana's new pattern- you look stunning!! I may need to start sending my handknits your way - you can be the face of the knitting industry :)
How sweet! I love the retro feel.

That's just gorgeous - the progression of colours and the detailed pattern are so lovely. Very impressive!
Your changes turned out great. I really like the colours you used.
Being able to modify a pattern is one of the wonderful things about knitting. I love what you did.
So beautiful - I really love the colour choices!
