I was doing some blog reading today, when I came across this new pattern - the Sullivan Street Bolero. I was instantly charmed, and started looking at my stash to see what I had that could be suitable for this. I wanted something solid, or heathery, and found this. It's Berroco Touche, a cotton/rayon blend. I bought it from Patternworks some time ago, hoping to make another run at Sizzle. When it arrived, though, the yarn was not all one dye lot, and after the horrible dye lot experience I had last time I tried to knit Sizzle, I figured it was better not to tempt fate. Into the stash it went, and now it seems there is enough of one dye lot (six skeins, in this case) to knit up this little bolero. Forget anything else; my heart, for the moment, is here.
That's going to look really nice in that color.

I've not caught the 'shrug' bug... but I have to admit I really REALLY like this one... (I still don't think I'd wear it but) I LOVE the way this one looks! Seriously, it's simple and elegant, tailored, I find it incredibly appealing :^) I totally see why you are so charmed with this pattern and it looks like it'll be a fast knit, so I can't wait to see it!

I'm with Marianne in that shrugs have never appealed to me but this one catches my eye for its great potential of being great little addition to a strapless wedding dress - in cashmere and silk. It looks like a fun knit.

Oh that is a stunning blue!
It is going to be perfect for the cute little Bolero.
Have fun.

The bolero is going to look so cute with your baby bump!

short sweaters don't do it for me -- something about the mile-long waist, but that is a beautiful color and I'm sure will look great on you!
