There is something so satisfying in taking a raw fibre.
Washing, dying, carding, spinning and finally knitting it.
It's magic really, transforming fibre to a usable item.
This is EL X Merino, which I blogged about here.
The pattern was based on Spring Beret by Natalie Larson
I did modify a little as my yarn was bulky weight.
I knitted with 8 mm needles and casted on 52 stitches,
I had to tweak the number of stitches for the lace pattern.
The lace pattern was simple enough not to be lost in the texture of the yarn.
Rose was kind enough to model for me.
This is my hat so a little big on Rose.
Not only is Rose beautiful it turns out she sings beautifully too!
And has won a solo in the East Of The Ranges Choir.
I'm very proud of her.

Way to go Rose.
Love that hat. I feel a lot of slouchy hats coming into my wardrobe this winter :)
Just lovely, and how fulfilling it is when you know what goes in to everything you make. And well done Rose too :)
What a beautiful beret on your gorgeous Rose!
And Congratulations to her for being a soloist too! :D
Beautiful Tracy! That is a lovely hat made from lovely fibre. Congratulations to Rose - such a buzz for her!
