Pretty Justine Bolero

This bolero is cute overload!

 I so recommend this pattern from Garnstudio, they’ve done it again!

Instructions are very easy to follow, flawless pattern.

I used Patons Flair yarn for this pattern and they turned out just perfect.

Available for purchase in my MadeIt store.

Which one is your favourite colour?

Snow White Bolero

I knitted this customised bolero for my lovely friend. 

No pattern used, the bolero was designed simple and elegant to not steal the attention away from the wedding gown.

The yarn that I chose is Filatura di Crosa Superior, 70% cashmere and 30% silk. It is super soft, the first day I brought them home, I walked around my flat petting them in my arms (and my cat was jealous). This is one of the best yarn I’ve ever worked with. Soft and warm, and although it looks small and fragile it’s actually really strong (must be the 30% silk).

Purple Alaska Berry Bolero

Hello everyone... it's nice to finally update my blog.
I haven't finished too many projects lately :-) lazy me...
So, this one is a cute little bolero, again from Garnstudio, free pattern using Alaska yarn.
The yarn is a probably one of the heaviest yarn I've ever worked with and I think it gave me RSI.
So, I'm glad it's finally over :-)

I knitted this bolero during my holiday to Tea Gardens. It's a really lovely place, very famous for fishing and there is this fabric shop that has amazing stuff, quite on the expensive side though. The lady was teaching quilting to someone when I got there. Maybe I should take up quilting...

I love the big collar thing around the neck and waist.

Look at this berry pattern, really love it.

The material is so warm, perfect for a cold spring morning. Fingers crossed it will be warmer soon.

Hot Pink Stocking St Bolero with Rib Edges with Vivaldi and Alpaca from Garn Studio

This bolero is simply lovely. It is soft, flowy, and not itchy at all. The pattern is free from Garn Studio. It's using a combination of Vivaldi, which is a lace type yarn, and Alpaca, which is

It took me slightly longer to make than expected, around 11 days.
I was considering to make this in black colour, but, when I saw the hot pink colour, I just fell in love with it.
And the rest is history...

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

Up close look of the rib and the soft lace:

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...

Bobble and Lace Pattern Bolero

Hello everyone,
I'm back!! Apologize for the long absence... I have no excuse (^_^)

I've knitted this cute little bolero back in February (It's been a while, isn't it?) with Garn Studio Silke Alpaca yarn.

Boy, this bolero gave me so much trouble, I had to redo it a couple of times.
The technique is very unusual to me, in addition to the lace pattern and the bobble pattern.
Free pattern is up on the website.
