Bergere bolero


The sun is shining today, after a miserable, wet and cold Easter weekend. So I completed the sewing up of my bolero outside. It is worked in Cotton 50 from the Bergere 08/09 Collection. Fewer problems to report than with the jacket, thank goodness, although you need to keep your wits about you with the shaping of the fronts with the increases at both edges. There was quite a bit of late night ripping back, but at least the fronts are little. I also knitted on the front band with a cicular needle, as I'm not too keen on sewing bands on - the finish is never as neat. Very pleased with this cute little garment and think it will be practical too.
