Newness

Ah, new projects.  So I've been MIA because, well, things went haywire in my life.  Anyhow now I'm easing back into crafting.  I'm doing some smaller projects so I can get my rhythm back. First up: a beret. Not just any beret, but the fabled Grace Lace Beret from LoopKnits. I initially saw it on Ravelry a few months ago and put it in my queue.  Now that it's officially cold and I need a stylish hat, I'm making it in Patons Canadiana dark grey yarn. This is my first lace knit, so I was a bit apprehensive with all the yarnovers and such, but so far the pattern is working out quite nicely and it's a quick knit. To make it winter-ready, I'm going to interline it with something fleecy and then make a satin lining.

Here are some pics of my progress.

I never knew it would be so difficult to photograph a knit pattern, but these are the best shots. Once it's finished, I'll try again and hopefully I'll be able to show more detail.
