Modification Monday: Pomatoma-Shrug


Original Pattern: Pomatomus

Knitter Extraordinaire: Jen (Rav ID, blog)

Mods: Tramsformed the beautiful sock pattern into a stunning shrug. Details are on her project page, here.

What Makes This Awesome: There are so many wonderful sock patterns out there, but this is definitely one of the best. Jen's modification turns the beloved sock pattern into a beautiful shrug. I love the detail of the back, It looks like the perfect shrug to put on over a tank top of a bare summer dress. I would love to knit one just like this! And with her promising to add more information on the modification soon,  this could mean that you could make a shrug out of almost any sock pattern- think of the possibilities!

    agreed, the possibilities of socks-turned-shrug would be endless, not to mention a great alternative use for sock yarn!

    Wow - I'd never look at that and think of socks! Have been enjoying looking round your blog, too. And wondered if this might be something that you'd find interesting, if you've not already seen it... knitted cupcakes!
