Laced Bolero (finishing touches)

Sharing with you what I've just taken off the needles. This is a knitted lace bolero made with light, pretty and soft Rowan Kidsilk Haze Eclipse with added beads to the bottom edges of both the body and the sleeves.

Yesterday it has been washed and blocked.
Today is all set to be sewed up and finished with some nice crochet edge. Then is just pack it and mail it to its new home.
I'm hoping the new owner will love it as much as I did doing it.

The pattern is free and can be accessed here. I won't be adding the large beads or the flowers as per the owner's request.

Blog logo

So here it is the new logo designed by Isabel Gomes (my sweet mom).

Isn't it absolutely adorable?
Would like to hear your opinions about it :)
