Work in progress.

After a few frustrations with another pattern, I decided to cast on this, Flower Girls' Knitted Bolero - Snowdrops,  an adorable little shrug/bolero. I have loved the look of this little shrug ever since I saw it and was gifted this pattern so I am so happy to be trying it!  It's not very practical for the climate right now but wait a month or so and it will be spring here.  I'm hoping it will fit my little munchkin then. I'm making in the size 3-4 but didn't have a size 4mm circular needle to make this on and though the pattern says that you can use a straight needles, it also expects you to pick up stitches all around and work in the round, so I am using a 3.75 mm circular instead. I hope that the pattern indeed runs a little big like others have mentioned in their project notes.  Other than the needle thing it's a very nicely written pattern and is moving along fast! So much so that I am nearly onto the ruffle edging! A fast project always makes me happy! :)  


The yarn I am using is Wendy (India) Knit Shine. It's a light DK weight acrylic wool blend with a lovely sheen to it. I still had a little left from the Saroyan I made for my brother's girlfriend Lindsey for Christmas.  It's a french Lilac color. The yardage this yarn gives is excellent so I think I'll have enough to make another one if I want to. (or need to if it does not fit)
