Original Pattern: Omelet
Knitter Extraordinaire: Yvonne (Ravelry ID)
Mods: Using the 4 gore shawl as a starting point, Yvonne doubled it up and added beads to create this stunning sumbrella. Project page with great details on her modification can be found here.
What Makes This Awesome: First of all, I love the 'hey, I could do that!' approach that Yvonne had on transforming a shawl pattern into a parasol. Lace shawls are lovely, but there is something magical about this beautiful knit- doubling it up and adding beading and then adding all that loveliness to an umbrealla's mechanics is really the stuff of awesome, fearless knitting. I'm blown away.

Wow! This is incredible! Congratulations on a Modification Most Impressive!!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful. I've wanted to knit a parasol for some time now. I must say, though, that I'm almost as impressed by the fact that that is, I believe, a man modelling it!
ReplyDeleteJust incredible!1
