Knitting Update
Aug. 15th, 2020 05:48 pmI decided to go with the mohair pattern, mostly because it gives me something to do at lunchtime while working from home.

Don't worry, I am also keeping an eye out for suitable boleros in case I don't finish it in time.
Casting on in mohair is a pain in the neck, but once that was done, it's okay to work with. The pattern less so. As per usual for patterns from this company, they assume you know what you're doing and don't explain things particularly well. So attempt 1 and 2 were both disasters but I think wrote the pattern out in a way that made sense to me and attempt 3 is going much better so far.
