Ribby Texture Dress in Patons Soft Haze

Patons Soft Haze is the best yarn I've ever worked with. I can't understand why they discontinued it. Bugger!
The pattern calls for 14 balls of yarn to complete the sweater, but I only had 12.

And the rest is history...

The sleeves are bat-wing type, you know, popular in the 80's era.

White Short Sleeves Bolero in Garn Studio Vienna Yarn

Long time no see my fellow bloggers. Please forgive my laziness.. (^_^)
As I've mentioned in my last post I have overtaken a couple more hobbies... This is so typical of me of course...
I've been busy practising my violin.

This cute little bolero was actually completed in April and it took only 9 days to complete surprisingly.

Unfortunately, I haven't got a chance to wear it, since the weather is too cold.

Again, the pattern is free from Garn Studio. Don't I love their website...
