weee! It’s up, it’s free and there is a contest for the first completed one. And as the contest is being run by Kerrie Allman and she owns hipknits I’m betting the prize will be delicious.
anyway take yourself over here to get it:

This pattern would be a great stashbuster, it would look great in all sorts of yarns. I’d love to see it in a shimmery ribbon, or perhaps some lacey mohair. Have fun experimenting with it.
I’m so excited about this magazine too, it’s going to be awesome :)

Thanks so much for the pattern!! It’s fantastic. I’ve had this chunky yarn sitting around for ages which I can use to make this with. And it seems like such a “Spring” piece.

Hi Ysolda, the bolero’s lovely.
Sorry to ask this via a comment, but I can’t find an email address on this site. I run Durham Uni knitting society, and was wondering if I may use your drawing of you knitting for my posters and flyers for freshers. I’ve twiddled with it a little bit to make it photocopiable. If you could email me to say yay or nay. Cheers, Anna xxx
Thanks for the pattern! Can’t wait to try it out ^^ I have some black silk yarn in my stash I think I’ll try out… it’s a bit too thin, but I’ll just knit a bigger size then! Would be awesome for this fall :)

Another great pattern from you! That is lovely..I am thinking black ….musn’t buy any more yarn at the moment though!
Thansk for another gorgeous pattern – I have a ton of Rowan Polar to use up and am sure that my wee sister would rather like this…
That is so cute!
it’s adorable!
That pattern is fantastic!! I have some mohair that might just be perfect!
Great pattern, but I think they should have used your picture for the on-line mag as it’s MUCH nicer!
That’s great news. Congratulations for having it published! I’ll knit it when I have time.

PS – you are tagged!
Lovely pattern, congratulations :-) Parcel on it’s way. with the past as slow as it is these days expect it sometime around the weekend :-)
I love this pattern! I subscribe to your blog and really look forward to your posts. Thanks
great to see another one of your patterns, congratulations!
sorry to comment twice in a row, but while I was surfing I found this site looking for knit designers to publish and thought you might be interested?
whee, well done you! looks awesome. our SnB was just talking about the cloud bolero pattern on monday, wondering when it was coming out.
And I agree that your pic is far nicer than the one they used.
next question: when are you getting a book deal? :)
Thanks for sharing. I got some lace mohair in my stash that might be perfect for this pattern.
I love the pattern. I’ll definitely try it out.
Ysolda..would love to buy “Matilda Jane” but I don’t have paypal .Is it possible to send you a cheque I would be willing to pay a little extra as I know my daughter would adore it .Angie.
Thank you so much for sharing the pattern! I love your designs :-)
Thanks for the awesome pattern! I have to make this bolero :D
Hi, Ysolda – I’ve finished my Cloud bolero, and love it! Mine is actually very warm, as it’s in baby alpaca and silk, just right for the weather now here – kind of some days hot and humid, the next long sleeved t shirts and cold if you sit too long at the computer (not that I would!)
ysolda. i adore this – am about to start making my third colour ! thanks so much.
your picture – way, way better than the one they used.
How would I/is it possible to make lengthier sleeves?
I’m trying to get a copy of your free cloud bolero pattern but can’t access the pattern. Is it still offerred?
