Modification Monday: Help Me Rondeur
Original Pattern: Rondeur
Knitter Extraordinaire: Heidi (Ravlery ID)
Mods: Adjusted the hemline from the original pattern to sit flat for a more flattering hemline, and added a lace detail. Project page can be found here with more notes.
What Makes This Awesome: This is a perfect example of how awesome it is to be a knitter and customize your clothes for a more flatting fit. Heidi wasn't comfortable with how the rounded hem of the original pattern might fall on her body, and instead chose to do a more classic hem, but added a bit of lace detail to spice things up. I love how the lace at the hem line balances out the amazing detail at the raglan 'seams' and the whole garment looks beautiful. What a fabulous customization! Plus, I had a genuine smile over her witty little project name.

So much more interesting the original pattern!
Yeah, that's definitely more interesting than original! It really flatters Heidi's figure.
I didn't like the original when it came out (it was just plain OK) but I love this! I've been reading up on the tech aspects of knitting (thanks, EZ!) so I can start modifying patterns to fit me in a way I want.
Both patterns have their merits and I always admire someone who can take an item and modify it to fit the wearer perfectly.
While I love her modification and it looks gorgeous on her, it would not be flattering on me ~ fluff and stuff tends to fall out of lace holes... lol.
Nice! Simple edit, but it really changes the finished product. I am really liking the Modification posts :) keep 'em coming.
Wow! Great mods! Beautiful result! That green is amazing!
It's such a flattering top!
beautiful shade of green! i love it.
Great mod and nice to see how beautifully it worked out.
Ooh I do like a knitting pun :D
Love the colour of the garment and really like the raglan seams.
Very pretty!
