This is my Kochoran Scoop, a basic, top down, scoop neck raglan of my own design. I loved it when I finished it, but after wearing it a few times, I decided it needed to be longer, and the collar needed to come up just a little. (I'm not well-endowed and don't have the necessary assets to hold up such a deep scoop neck.)
Here's the before:
And here's the after, with longer body and slightly shallower, narrower neckline:
I think it's much more flattering now, and certainly more comfortable to wear. More proof that you don't need to live with knits that aren't quite right!This concludes this week's FO Parade. Next week: new knitting!
What a lovely parade!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the fun week of FO's! It perked up Spring Break week for me.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of your Kochoran sweater. I totally see you teaching at LYS's on altering handknit garments! Or writing a book on the process. :D
I liked this sweater before. I LOVE it now!
ReplyDeleteThe new version is even lovelier than the original. Good for you for not letting your knitting be in charge of you, even after a project is complete.
ReplyDeleteYour sweater parade has been fantastic! I agree with Sharon that you could definitely teach all of us a thing or two about how to alter your knits to your own measurements.....they alwasy look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love how you do this. If only we were all brave enough to fix instead of forget.
ReplyDeleteWOW! All your FOs are very very inspirational! Off to knit with me! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a lot of FOs to catch up and wow, what a ball of yarn. How did your india situation end up?
