Modification Monday: Purple Mystery Top
Original Pattern: 198 yards of Heaven
Knitter Extraordinaire: Sachiko (Ravelry ID)
Mods: Created a top-down raglan top based on the original shawl design, and added a great cowl. Project page is here.
What Makes This Awesome: A shawl into a top, people! Holy cow! This is a beautiful way to incorporate a lace pattern you admire into a totally different garment, for those that aren't that keen on triangular shawls. I find this so inspiring- the top looks really modern and wearable, and still has the great lace design of the shawl. What a fantastic idea!

this is just perfect :)
What a wonderful top.
I did something similar with my Brandywine cardigan, using the scalloped pattern and smocking from Robin Ulrich's lovely Brandywine Falls shoulder wrap.
gorgeous! fab idea :)
D'oh! Why didn't I think of that! I love it.
This is one of the most beautiful and feminine things I have ever seen. And the color is stunning. I would love to knit this pattern. Lacework is my favorite thing. Just lovely!
Have a great week Little Mommy!

Very clever
I love it! Shawl to top! ♥
Wow! That's pretty amazing. I didn't think about turning shawl into top with cowl. Just wow!
I agree; it's very inspiring. I love the semi-solid yarn she used, too.
Knitters are an amazingly creative bunch! This mod is incredibly pretty -- I'd love to see someone wearing it to get a better sense of what it looks like on. I'll go peek at the projects page.
Holy cow is right! That is wondrous.
Oh my gosh - sooooooo beautiful! The color and the design!!!!!
Just beautiful. I wish I was small enough to wear it.
It's Gorgeous! I love it!
rewelacja, pozdrawiam
What a cool idea. I love the look of shawls, but generally don't wear them. This may be the perfect way for me to get the best of shawls, without actually wearing a shawl!
