Modification Monday: Idlewood +
Original Pattern: Idlewood
Knitter Extraordinaire: Traci (Ravelry ID)
Mods: Added lots of colourwork, eliminated the pocket, added ribbing to sleeve and body hems. Project page is here.
What Makes This Awesome: I was blown away by this gorgeous sweater when I first saw it- the colourwork is stunning, and I love the muted palette Traci used to create it. The charts are from Elizabeth Zimmermann's The Opinionated Knitter, Leaflet #3, and I think the whole combination is just dynamite. I want to a sweater just like this now! Looks perfect for layering.

wow! that came out amazing. I love modification mondays- they're so inspiring.
The colorwork is just amazing! It looks so good in muted colors. Really beautiful!
That really IS amazing. Beautiful work she did there. Thanks for sharing the inspiration!
What an amazing rendition of Idlewood!
The original sweater is not something that I would find myself knitting, but add the amazing colorwork, and I love it!
I must say that I love this colorwork more than the original, although I like something simple :)
Thank you all so much for your kind comments, and thank you Knitted Bliss for featuring my project! It was really fun to knit and soon it will be chilly enough to actually wear it :)
