Tätä boleroa olen tehnyt kuin Iisakin kirkkoa ja on muuten mun ihka ensimmäinen oikeasti isompi neuleprojekti. Marraskuussa tämä tuli aloitettua ja vihdoin sain valmiiksi. Toki tässä samalla on tullut tehtyä yhtä ja toista pienempää hommaa ja kaiken kukkuraksi lanka loppui kesken! Onneksi ei jäänyt kuin hihojen resorit, niihin nyt pystyi säveltämään vielä jotain.
*I've knitted this bolero for long and earnestly. It is also the first bigger knitting I've ever made. I started it in November and now it's finally finished. Of course I've made couple of smaller items aside and I also ran out of the yarn that I used for the bolero! Luckily I had only the cuffs left, so it was easy to figure something for them. *

Oikein mukavahan siitä tuli. Hihoihin tosiaan vaati jonkin verran kehittelyä. Onneksi paikallisesta lankakaupasta löytyi suunnilleen samanväristä, mutta ohuempaa puuvillalankaa. Loputulemana tein hihat kahdella langalla, toinen tuo ohuempi lila ja toinen valkoista kierrätyspuuvillaa. Ratkaisu miellytti ainakin minun silmää.
*I think it turned out quite nice. The cuffs needed some creativity. Fortunately I found a cotton yarn almost the same color, but it was a lot thinner. So I knitted the cuffs with two yarns, the one that I found and white recycled cotton yarn, that I had as a leftover yarn. It looks good for me.*
*Here's the bolero at the assembly stage.*
*Unfortunately the manly eye of the photographer didn't see, that the bolero wasn't exactly right on me. He could have also mention to breath in and hold the breath while taking the pictures :D I have lost approximately 6 kg since I started the bolero, so it turned out almost too big.*
