this beret is for my friend coco who is not a fan of wool (sad, i know, but there are many out there who do not understand the magical fiber that is wool). luckily, this silk/cotton blend is perfectly lightweight. in fact, you can hardly tell your wearing it. and it's just oh-so-chic. love it.
i've also started (and restarted and restarted and restarted) the EZ practically seamless baby sweater. it's going better this time. pictures to come later.
Tres magnifique! You should make one for yourself. You look darling slouched.
ReplyDeleteLooks very pretty on you! Look at you wearing the CPH and Le Slouch!
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI am in the Uk and have just bought the CPH pattern but as I am fairly new to knitting I wondered about the yarn I could use as obviously I can't always get hold of US yarns mentioned. Any help would be appreciated, would any Rowan yarns be ok.
Love your blog!
Best wishes
Sue
Purdy! The beret suits you.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteLe Slouch is fab. Love, love, love the butter yellow color.
ReplyDeleteOoh nice, love it in the tweedy yellow!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments and the help with CPH. Will look at the Rowan you suggested as I'm not very tolerant of itchy yarns.
ReplyDeleteHappy Knitting!
The yarn really doesn't glide over the needles like ir does on the addi needles. When I use straight needles I like the wood and that's what the denise remind me of. I am also a very tight knitter so that is some of my problem. I guess in the end waiting as long as I did for them and the excitment whooohooo...it was a let down. They are just knitting needles, nothing magical. I cast on to make a mobius , I am doing a cat bed from The second treasury of magical knitting, and it's going to be real difficult to work the yarn like that. It's just nice to have all those size needles in a little space, Helpful?
ReplyDeleteThe hat and the sweater are amazing! I feel so inspired!
ReplyDeleteI sent you an email about the linguistics course. Too much for the comment zone.
ReplyDeleteLove Le Slouch!
It is so cute! I really like the look of your version. You should definitely make one for yourself too - in that same buttery color! It looks great with your hair :)
ReplyDeleteRachel the hat looks so awesome! I trusted your instincts about yellow despite my predilection for muted, boring colors, and you were spot-on. I loooove the warm, buttery hue. Gorgeous! Can't wait to wear it =)
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you for your comment about my Forecast -- and tell you what a great blog you have! The butter yellow Le Slouch does look wonderful on you (and with your CPH), so I agree with Lolly that you should make yourself one.
ReplyDeleteYou are rocking the hand knits!
ReplyDeleteI GOT THE HAT IT'S GREAT!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Rachel! I owe you something equally cute and/or awesome.
Hi Rachel, your beret is perfect! Your beret looks smaller than wendy's how do the measurements of your beret compare to the le slouch's suggested measurements?
