Hot Day for a Photo Shoot

It was a hot day to be wearing berets but we had allot of fun. So far I have orders from three stores. I hope my hands hold up.

Rowan Cotton Beret

Busy, busy, busy. This morning I worked on a layout for a new beret knitting pattern and handknit tag. Plan to attend some retail buyer's markets this fall to sell my finished works. Here's my niece wearing one of my universal berets. Bill has not taken his off since I gave it to him a couple of months ago.

Still Knitting Hats

Yes, I am still knitting hats. I have not taken count of all the berets I've knit over the last couple of months, I'm certain it's over 20 hats - each featuring an ODD ball of yarn.

Along with Christmas cards to friends and family, this year, was a hat casually stuffed in a big envelope. Here's a photo of Blake, our six-month-old nephew, wearing an extra fine merino skull cap. Thanks Stacy and Doug for sending photos.

The Move

Still sorting through boxes and boxes of yarns, books, and accessories - a major project for sure. Four weeks ago I made the final move from Bedford and it will take several more weeks to get organized. The whole thing would go much faster if I wasn't distracted by all the goodies I discover in each box. . . yes, yes, yes, beautiful yarns I've been hoarding for years. For example this wonderful discontinued Maria yarn by Adrienne Vittadini. I used my very easy skull cap pattern, 108 stitches with a US #10.5. It took just one ball and it's light weight and NOT SCRATCHY.

If you'd like to knit it, just let me know. I have navy blue, black, and forest green. It's a blended yarn of merino wool, acrylic and lycra which gives it great memory and shape.
