This ist a birthday present for my sister-in-law. As my husband she has long arms and rarely finds clothes with fitting sleeves.
The wool was exciting: I watched the swatch in the machine with 40 degrees and nothing happened.
The finished bolero was washed with 30 degrees and shrunk a bit what fortunately was not too bad because my sister-in-law lost weight after pregnancy.

The bolero is knitted sideways and put together with three-needle-bind-off
Meanwhile the bolero has two nice turqoise buttons, no more the provisional safety pin
