Rayon Ribbon yarn in Rhododendron</p> <p>Needles:&nbsp; US size 7 in 16" and 36" circular</p> <p>Modifications:&nbsp; The pattern calls for ribbing at the hem, collar and sleeves/full length sleeves/plain knitting up the back panel along with garter stitch where the pattern changes under the bust.&nbsp; I chose to eliminate the ribbing and go with a more decorative edge that incorporated hand-dyed ribbon yarn.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>By creating my own yarn combination and altering the pattern I have a uniquely individual sweater.&nbsp; I encourage other knitters to modify the patterns they use and be creative.&nbsp; Who said knitting needs to be cut-and-dried???&nbsp;</p>http://www.scottishgypsy.com/picture/img_0070.jpg?pictureId=4194321http://www.scottishgypsy.com/picture/img_0071.jpg?pictureId=4194322http://www.scottishgypsy.com/picture/img_0072.jpg?pictureId=4194323http://www.scottishgypsy.com/picture/img_0073.jpg?pictureId=4194324http://www.scottishgypsy.com/picture/img_0077.jpg?pictureId=4194325http://www.scottishgypsy.com/picture/img_0080.jpg?pictureId=4194326
