Knitting Nyssa sent me this lovely yarn in a yarn swap through ravelry. She dyed it herself. Something I haven't had the nerve to try yet.
This is the first finished project I've ever knitted from a magazine.
One of my goals for this year is to make something from every magazine I get.
Vogue Knitting
Interweave Knits
Food Everyday
Living
I plan to blog about this. :)
This pattern is #11, Vine and Leaf Beret from Vogue Knitting Fall 2009.
I enjoyed knitting it and obtained the correct gauge, however...
even the small is too big for my head.
And here I thought, I had a big head!
The knitted measurements say circumference is 20" and my head is 21 1/2".
Interesting.
So beware.
Measure your head and if you have a bigger head than mine...
Leave me a note and I'll mail it to ya.
If I get more than one larger head..
I'll pick a random bleader to send it to :)
On to an unfinished project now... more than one sweater.
Sleeves, seaming, accessorizing, blocking, etc...
It is going to be a great year for finished projects!
