Bolero

Tuesday, May 27, 2008

Completed this girly pink cotton bolero over the weekend. The pattern is taken from Keito Dama Let's Knit Series Summer Magazine #134

And as the magazine suggests, it's perfect for summer.

I do so love boleros and it looks great on you! Unfortunately for me, it merely sticks out at an awkward angle in front and ruins the beauty of the design.

J, I am speechless which is why you haven't read any comment from me so far. Each time I look at your creations I want to cry for my lack of sewing talent...

Wish I could knit or crochet in front of the TV instead of munching chips LOL.

This is so sweet, I love it. Unfortunately, even if my life depended on it, I wouldn't be able to knit.

Thanks everyone! :D

This was a trial piece as I wasn't sure how it would turn out. Now that I know it works, I can't wait to try out different colours and variations.

Thanks again for your encouraging words.

I just can't help it anymore. FYI: I have come to your blog a few times stalking out this pic. LOL. And so, am going to GD for tutorials. And nope, even ordering three custom crochet shrugs online apparently did not help.
