Knitting pattern!
Okay, so my last post was to clear out the poison of hearing bs all day and night, everywhere I turn, now something more fun. A knitting pattern! I started yesterday after noon and finished this afternoon. I am a beginner ish, learning new tricks and starting on some intermediate projects, this was one. Now the pattern called it a beret, but it's more like a slouchy beret. I had to fix the pattern a bit as the instructions were unclear but thanks to the lovely ladies at knittinghelp.com I was able to fix it. So here it is:

Break yarn, thread through rem 11 sts, pull up and tightly secure.

I will have some pictures up soon of it. It was a bit loose on my head, and I have a fairly big head, so I just sewed in an extra piece of yarn to cinched up the bottom a bit. Enjoy!
