Despite the headache it took to get here, I really love my new bolero!
I substituted the yarn (see notes below) and was very pleased with the way it turned out. Great fit!
I have quite a few outfits that I plan to wear this with, but I think this is my favorite. Red shoes and all!
************************************************************************
Pattern Source: Fiery Bolero from Interweave Knits, Summer 2005
Yarn: 5 skeins of Berroco, Comfort DK (but only used 4)
Needles: size US 3 and US 5
Size: small
Notes: This yarn was a really nice substitute for the Debbie Bliss, Cathy that the pattern called for. I love the color and the yarn is very soft and pretty inexpensive. Nice to work with.

So cute!! And what a fantastic dress! I'm glad you wrote about the blocking -- that's still something that's a bit daunting for me.
