This weekend I am having a good friend stay with us for a little R&R.
She is getting married in November and asked if I could whip her up a little something to wear for her reception. The piece she wants is the angora bolero that the Duchess Kate wore post wedding. I am SO excited to recreate this!
I know there are a few patterns for this out there already - one specifially from Vogue but I think I'm going to do this from scratch for her. She wants a few modifications and it will be good design practice for me.
I am looking forward to casting on!
What fun! Angora is lovely stuff but get used to having an itchy nose. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

That's a great idea! I thought that sweater was perfection when I saw it. I can't wait to see what you come up with. x

What fun! Angora is charming things but get used to having an scratchy nasal area. Can't hang on to see what you come up with.
