My one-day beret turned into a two-week beret but I don’t mind since I’m so happy with it! I finished it up this morning then cornered Dobby and made her take a few pictures:
I wore it to knitting group tonight and my ears were warm! It was awesome! I took it off and my hair wasn’t flat and frizzy! It was a curly-girl miracle! ;o)
Details (Raveled):
Pattern: One-Day Beret from Through the Loops!
Yarn: Persimmon Tree Farm Pot Luck Yarn purchased at Rhinebeck ’07
Needles: Knitpicks Size 5 for body of hat, 4 for ribbing – magic loop technique used throughout since I hate dpn’s passionately ;o)
Up next?
Gloves.

StoryTime Sampler 3 February 2016
I don’t know if this project will stay here, but I wanted a spot to put all of my photos for the current sampler I’m cross stitching.

I’ve put this on ‘hibernating’ status since I’m trying to decide what to do - I kind of want to pick my favorite 6 and make a mini sampler since there are some books in the mix that aren’t my favorites

Holy cow, it’s even prettier in natural light than it was last night at knitting! Now I understand why you said the two yarns complement each other. Color me dense. :P It looks beautiful on you, a job well done.

Yup, berets are great for non-hair-squishing. I wore them in high school since i am a child of the 80’s big hair era. Didn’t want to spend all that time making my hair big and then squashing it under a hat!
Yours is lovely.
And you hate dpn’s? Wow, I tried magic looping or even on 2 circs and went back to dpn’s….
