Modification Monday: Inspira Sweater
Original Pattern: Inspira Cowl
Knitter Extraordinaire: Sigrid (Ravelry ID, blog)
Mods: Transformed the beautiful colourwork cowl/caplet into a gorgeous kaleidoscopic pullover. Details on how she did this can be found on her project page, here.
What Makes This Awesome: I can't say I've seen many transformations of a caplet into a sweater, have you? This is such a lovely reinterpretation of the pattern. the colours Sigrid chose are so pretty, and the whole effect is just... WOW. Talk about making a pattern your own! What a stunning sweater.

How did I miss such a cute and popular pattern on Ravelry? The Inspira is going on my queue now! I wonder if it could be done in a lighter, spring appropriate fibre?
The sweater is an amazing feat, but the original cowl is what I'm going to knit. Yeh, how did I miss it? Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Impressive mod - impressive modder!
Wow, no words. This sweater is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing another beauty!
Yay! I'm so glad you featured this one. Beautiful. It really is.
Very clever. Some people are just so damn smart!
I know this mod very well - and it indeed was amazing! The whole Inspira concept is just amazing. :)
And, @Andrea: The Inspira Cowl pattern is actually a recipe, of which there are three different versions. One of them, Steampunk, is made with fingering weight yarn - just perfect for a springtime fiber treatment.
I must say, this is quite a mod. But she made it work.
How cool! I love these mod Mondays :)
Wow, amazing work! I can't even imagine how much work she put into this.
I love it when people are so smart enough to modify. Maybe not in horizontal stripes, though.
Very creative transformation! I really dig!
