Have you seen the movie Bright Star? Put the pattern down right this minute and go find yourself a copy. Poet John Keats and his beloved Fanny Brawne, who he called a “minx” in correspondence (see the letter reproduced at the end of this pattern) are the perfect thing to watch while you knit, especially when Fanny is whipping up some fashionable attire in her room, something for which she was well known. This bolero looks like something she’d have worn.
