Whip Bolero

Today I added to the Ravelery database the description for the Whip Bolero.
Link to the pattern (you can also browes my designs in the right column)
Available in English only for now. The "whip" is the i-cord drawn thru the cable edging - and is optional.
But here is the story of the "whip". The whole idea for this clothing piece came from a  book where one of the characters had always a whip hidden in her clothes (I read quite a lot of Fantasy). Originally I planned the i-cord to be in the sleeves (that is why the sleeves are a mesh pattern and not plain stockinette stitch). But things change ; or in other words there was not enough complete rounds around the arms in the mesh to look nice - but I was stubborn enough to want to stick with the original idea to have a contrasting color i-cord added.
As usual would you need description in Swedish, French or Hungarian please just comment on the blog and I'll provide.
