[LEFT][B]Techniques[/B]: Magic Loop for sleeves, circular knitting for the body, picking up stitches to join the bolero bit to the shoulder/shrug bit; “spit felting” (aka Felted Join found hereon KH).[/LEFT]

[LEFT]You’ll notice I’m using a dpn for temporary closure; please feel free to pass along good sources for shawl pins or big cool buttons :shifty:[/LEFT]

[LEFT]This pattern was very easy to follow and written in the plainest english. I liked that stitch counts were given along the way, and that if you have some experience you could make adjustments in several different places to suit your custom fit.[/LEFT]

[LEFT]I’m a BIG fan of this Noro yarn for it’s great color combinations and softness, but I must say that I ran into [I]several[/I] knots in each skein :ick:. Since this is 75% wool and 25% silk though, the felted join helped me to avoid having alot of ends to weave in. Only my cast on and bind off yarn ends had to be woven - can’t beat that![/LEFT]
I love it so much! I have to say, this is the second FO garment I’ve seen of yours, and I am such a huge fan of both of them! You’re quite talented; great job!
That’s beautiful! I remember your last sweater too, you do some beautiful work.
I like the look of the dpn, but I remember someone on KH talking about this cool website called [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]The Button Drawer. I’ve never purchased anything from them, but they have some really pretty clasps that I like and a huge selection of buttons. [/FONT][/COLOR]
