Short and Sweet
Surprising.
Who would have thought? not me... For sure!
But this is living proof I was wrong. I always thought the thinner the yarn, the better. But here, I must recon it is not true. My version in a thinner yarn is less attractive than the thicker original.
You live, you learn.
I consider my version of short and sweet however satisfactory .
STATS :
I did a few more changes in the original design

I’m working of this project, a bolero by Angela Best, called “La vonne” (French descent maybe) and featured inThe Happy Hooker by Debbie Stoller.
I haven’t bought the book (yet, still holding strong to keep my word) and I’m following the instructions Angela gives on her blog. They’re not complete but as I usually don’t comply to yarn and sizing instructions in patterns, I won’t miss them here…
I’ve used up two balls of yarn and I’m quite satisfied with the result. I intend to shape the armhole differently, to make room for my “curves", and, appart from a reading mistake I’ll do with because I don’t want to frog the back (that’s what you get when you read graphs at 2 o’clock in the morning), this will be the only alteration of the pattern I’ll make.
Pics with 1 and 2 yarn balls used up, and the few first centimeters used as a head-band :

I think I’ll make another one, with a bigger hook, in black silky ribbon to offer to my sister for Xmas.
