Another FO
Here's the little jacket/bolero thingie, finally finished. It started life as a moss stitch cardigan (what was I thinking??) and ended up being this. I definitely prefer this incarnation. It's a bit chilly round the mid-section at the moment but it certainly won't be as the year wears on. The pattern calls for a large button at the neck. I don't happen to have a large button at hand right now, so have used a hair slide. Any suggestions as to large button suppliers, preferably in the UK, would be welcome, although I expect the hair slide will become a permanent fixture.
Read the full story on the FO2007 blog. (and thanks to Marie for helping me out with a technical hitch.)
Many thanks to Ginny for her comment about the shawl percentage calculator - that's a really useful thing to have.
A small amount of progress has been made on the Romance Shawl - I have started Cupid's Arrows. I still haven't decided whether to dye the body of the shawl or not. Anybody have any experience in this area?
Time to go and put a few more books into that Library Thing, I think.

It's lovely! I was flipping through a fashion magazine this afternoon and came across a bolero just like yours, and it cost GBP 240!!!!
Lovely jacket and the hair slide looks really pretty. As far as buttons go, Woolly Workshop have some nice one by a Jersey artist called Rosemary Blackmore
I love the jacket/bolero thing! And your name for it :)
