Adding Length to a Knitted Sweater

In this video, I show you how to surgically modify your handknit sweater by cutting into one stitch, uncoupling the live stitches, and adding length. This technique would also be ideal for shortening a sweater, OR for adding a stripe of color--let your imagination run wild! The sweater is my own design--a mash-up of some pattern elements that I love. You can read about it on my Ravelry project page: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/knittingthestash/monique I first learned about this sweater modification technique in Carol Feller's Sweater Surgery Craftsy class. Here, I play through the entire process using my own sweater so that you can see the surgery start to finish.
