Bolero for Me!

Little did I know that I was knitting myself a bolero. It sure is cute, but it wasn't supposed to be for me. I was knitting to gauge, but needed to pick a smaller size and trust "negative" ease. I know for sure that this size would be too big for its intended recipient. So, as promised, I am starting a smaller size today for T.
Take a look at my new bolero.







How about a look outside?
