Ok, I promise this will be the last time I make this Debbie Bliss bolero for a while since this is the third one I’ve made this winter!
Keira loves it (not that you can tell by her facial expressions) and modelled it for me complete with fluffy princess tiara and sore lip after a playground altercation yesterday.
Pattern available here and made in Bendigo’s Luxury 8ply in pink. The pattern calls for Cashmerino Aran and 5mm needles but in my experience ends up huger than huge. I used 8 ply and 4mm needles and the 18-24 months size has turned out a perfect fit for Keira who is a size 3.
And for dinner tonight I made a chicken version of pork tonkatsu….super crispy chicken pieces complete with homemade tonkatsu sauce and steamed spinach with sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds. I have one very happy and contented family after a week of japanese home cooked meals!
On your recommendation my soon-to-be sister-in-law and I have booked in for the course that is running in Aug. Should be fun!
Oh Corrie I’m so doing the course next term that meal looks fab! And well done on another cute bolero for your princess.
Lucky little one. I had a couple of boleros when I was her size and they made feel so special.
Again – gorgeous! Your so lucky your daughter will wear what you make her. I think I might start making things for my daughter and quietly just putting them in her drawers.
Cute bolero, cute little girl and that dinner…yummo
The meal looks so delicious. Love Keira’s bolero, didnt know they knit up that big. The luxury does look very nice knit up.
The bolero looks great – I will have to give it a go – I have often looked at it – but then changed my mind because I thought that it would knit up to osmall for Amelia.
That’s a beautiful bolero – great work!
Just perfect little bolero, so beautiful! And so is the owner of bolero as well :). I have thought that I would love to knit a little summer bolero for my girl and this your version really encourages me to do mine :).
Can I come to your place for dinner? That dish looks yum!
I do love the boleros – not sick of them at all!!
The bolero is gorgeous but that little girl just beautiful .
Your little girl looks so pretty.

we eat tonkatsu all the time – my husband lived in Japan for a couple of years. I think we will have it tonight. What is the recipe for the homemade sauce? We use out of the bottle sauce.
