crochet bolero - v1.1

Yesterday I was talking about two projects, the shawl (a test knit) and the bolero,remember, the hot pink bolero?  Well I just finished the first half front panel and am now onto the next part... I was hoping this will gonna be my very own bolero but I guess it's not gonna happen.

You see, aside from the gauge..oh which btw did I mentioned that I didn't bother making one?.. I just played it by hunch.. and now see where it got me, Oy!   - well I thought if I could just make my base chain the same width as my back then I won't go wrong.. well... ha! that's what I think.. you see when I started my base chain.. the measurement is 45cm...


so I fitted it against my back.. and I saw that it's just enough to cover my whole upper back. but was thinking.. what will happen if I sew the edges together.. now that's a revelation... but because I was still in denial, I continued working on the first panel.. and when I fitted on the dummy.. guess what, it looks like this is going to be a size S after all!

Here is the photo taken yesterday afternoon after I did got to finish the first panel....


Guess I'll just have to find out if this will gonna be part of my Christmas gifts this year.... to be continued...
