A Beret!
As promised, here's one of the two FOs for this week - at this rate I might even have more than two!
Pattern: Star Crossed Slouchy Beret (Ravelry link)
Yarn: handspun
Started: 1/16/09
Finshed: 1/19/09
The handspun is not my handspun. In fact, this hat is a collaboration between a few crafty people. I'm part of a swap that isn't knitting related, but quite a few knitters are in it, so I arranged to knit this for someone in exchange for a non-knitting crafty item for my swap pal. And this hat is for *her* swap pal. And yet another person spun the yarn, although I'm not sure what kind of swappy goodness she got. In any case, a collaboration of craftiness.
And the texture shot without flash:
I am perpetually shocked at how fast things knit up when they're on needles that aren't 1s or 2s. Surprising, really, use big yarn and big needles and get something quickly! I've never knit a beret before, because I'm not really a hat person. My hats are only for very cold weather and I don't wear anything fancy like berets. That's one of the things I love about knitting for other people - it gives me a chance to knit things I would never wear!
Now back to the toe decreases on the socky FO for this week...

That's nice. The color, texture and pattern all work together.
You should totally rethink berets for yourself too. You would look great in something slouchy.
Gorgeous hat and handspun!
