Shambles Brambles Beret
So I've just finished my brambles beret - possibly more of a shambles than brambles (I had to go there - those kinds of terrible puns are impossible to resist.) To be fair I did most of my work while sick with the flu, so there was definitely a couple of hours of knitting done while I was fairly feverish! That's my excuse anyway. You can find the pattern for this one at http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEdf10/PATTbrambles.php
It's by Amanda Muscha and it's extremely awesome looking (if you follow the pattern in a non febrile fashion). Mine ended up finishing in a weird peak, so I made the most of it and attached a lovely pompom.
Here is how it's supposed to look:
Very pretty.......
Mine ended up looking like this:
Sorry about the weirdly flashy photos. Photography is not my strong point!
Oh well.. I have had an excellent month of discoveries, including a particularly good jumper that I found at Salamanca Market - I don't know if I have come across a more awesome jumper design ever.
Plus it's reversible - so if you get sick of having the apple isle on the front you can always swich around to have this!
Anyone who can understand what is being depicted in the left hand corner deserves a special prize. cows in the snow? With love hearts? And what has that got to do with Victoria? But really the intrigue just adds to the awesomeness.
It was D's birthday a couple of weeks ago and the lovely Abby Road (smallcraftalert@blogspot.com) made him a lovely beard beanie (for the modern gentleman who has neither the time or the resources to grow a beard quickly himself).
Here it is modelled by D and Abby's husband:
Doesn't get much more manly than these beanies.. Very Mawson.
Anyhoo, that's about it for this month - I will leave you with the awesome cover of McCalls Easy Sewing Book - found by the lovely Abby Road.
I don't know that those kittens entirely know what they're doing.
