FO: Baby Bolero


Pattern: Baby Bolero
Source: One Skein
For: Sanobeia's 2nd Baby
Yarn: ~137 yds Blue Sky Alpacas Organic Cotton in 80
Needles: US 8 Knit Picks Options
Timeline: started 07.13.2008; finished 07.24.2008

A million people have made this and I finally got around to it. I've been wanting to try out the BSA Organic Cotton for a while now and got a single skein, so I decided to go ahead. The pattern was straight-forward, but I did go ahead and pick up the stitches for the sleeves and knit down instead of knitting them from the cuff up and seaming them. The yarn was really soft, but I do worry a bit about the FO pilling. Oh, well...I'm sure the baby will grow out of it pretty quickly anyway.
