You may recall, in my last post, I was super excited for the start of the beret from hell to be on my circulars, because after I get it on them, it will, and I quote, "just magically appear, just like the last one did."
It's not magically appearing. It's not even showing the hard work that I do everyday! It's the DK's fault. I'm getting frustrated because it's taking so long to knit up, and because the pattern is just sooo repetitive! I'm about to the point of setting it on fire tossing it in the fire.

This is about where it is, as of now. My circulars are too long, so its really, really stretched.
I think I'm going to run out of yarn before it's done, even though I'm making it less slouchy.

But, I did start on my sister's Christmas gift, a hand-knit scarf, with Knit Picks Crayon Boucle in Whisker. Go check it out if you want on the website (www.knitpicks.com), I'm too lazy to hyperlink right now.
I'm also too lazy to take a picture and upload it, so you can see the progress on the scarf. The yarn is very soft, but really (really, really) lightweight. It's a DK weight when the pattern calls for Worsted or Aran weight. But she picked the yarn. She said she loved the color and the feel of it, so I used it.

I should probably go and shower, and get ready for the day, as I am heading up to work at about 1.30.
But first, a very short (and very open) letter.
