revisiting the cream bolero

rightleftThis project got put on hold in the last day of March with only one sleeve left to crochet and the sewing.  I am sure most crocheters do things like that every now and again.  When they go back to the project they wonder why they never finished it at that time so I am in that boat at the moment. ..
  I spent some time yesterday and this morning getting this done so it will be able to be worn when the weather gets cool.  Funny to be so focused on fall since it temps have been in the high 90's as of late and yet I am thinking of cool weather.  I like the feel of the silk yarn used in this but I do have to admit I do not like how it shed when I was crocheting the piece.  I have enough of it left that I may make another Irish crochet tam out of  the left over scraps.

Because of the shedding it will probably never be worn with any dark colors just other creams otherwise it will look like I was attacked by a shedding long haired cream colored cat.
