So, when I originally set out to learn something I new, I picked up a set of knitting needles and taught myself to knit up a basketbeave blanket, which was given to my brother and his wife for their newest baby. I was pretty pleased with the blanket, especially given that it was my very first project, but looking back now I know my tension was very tight so it doesn't drape as well as it should. Since then I have taught myself to crochet, and, well obviously, crocheted many things. Now I have decided to dip back into knitting and test out the waters on that side of the pool more fluidly. I came up with this beret. I am super pleased with it. It took me a little under a week to complete. The yarn is super soft, and it drapes very well. Sophie is asking for one for herself now! I LOVE little girls, and how impressionable they are!!
