It seems that I’ve taken a bit of a longer off blogging than I thought. It doesn’t mean that I took off time from knitting. And for once I actually knitted something for myself. As you might remember I was in Germany at the end of August for my brothers wedding and I had a lovely dress that needed a nice bolero. So I knitted this:
It’s a lovely easy pattern, I started knitting it on Friday evening (the wedding was on Saturday) and finished it about one hour before the wedding.
I wasn’t too sure about knitting it out of mohair yarn as I thought it might be too hot, and I was right. But I was able to wear it in the church and later in the evening, just not during the day.
I’m really pleased with the end result and I think I look rather good in it :-).
Lovely photos and what a great bolero …. Looks so nice with your dress. Such a great idea for that special occasion to add a touch of glamour.
It does look lovely on you! I love a bit of fluffy knitting.
did you darken your hair?
