Specs:
Pattern: Cloud Bolero by Ysolda
Yarn: about 1.5 skeins of Lamb's Pride Bulky
Time to complete: 1 day
Ribbon: left over from Eiffel
I love these little bolero capelets, so when I saw this Cloud bolero pattern I thought I had to have it. Unfortunately, something went awry in my reading of the pattern, because I was left with an incorrect number of stitches and a slightly off-kilter right side. I can live with it.
I need to find another bolero like this (or the Anthropologie one) to make, and in this colour! I absolutely love the yarn - very soft and fluffy. And it was highly pleasing to be able to just pull at the bit of yarn ever-so-nicely tucked under the label and get a perfect centre pull experience.
Any suggestions for other boleros?

Ohhhh pretty. Good choice in yarn *wink wink...
For another, how about Otis, the ballet wrap?

that looks really nice!
Thanks! I'll check that one out.
I have to agree. The color of that yarn is nice! I especially like that you were able to work it up in a day thanks to the bulky Lamb's Pride. This is chic enough for work.
