Is no longer just a white hat, nor is it little. It's about 3/4 of the way done; I just need to start the decreases, maybe do a few extra rounds, to make sure it'll be a perfect size for my head. I added a tiny smoky blue stripe to the middle, and I think it looks less like a baby hat, and a little bit more grown-up.

I honestly can't wait to keep working on it. I think I will before I go to work. After I read blogs about knitting, such as the ones in my blog list, I always feel the urge to knit and knit, and then blog about it. In the short amount of time I wore it, (feeling like I had a bandage on my head, and hearing comments such as, "You look like a monk.") what it covered of my head was really, really warm.

It fits perfectly, its not too tight, but not too loose either. I love how its not itchy, either. So for once, I will have something that actually fits my head. Something of my own design, no pattern at all. I guess its true what they say...Third times the charm, right? :)

I've abandoned so many projects it's not even funny. Kyle's scarf, the Little Green Clutch, my sister's Christmas scarf...
But now, after receiving a whole lot of yarn, and a whole set of circular needles (the ones that detach and re-attach and whatnot!) I've started on a little white hat, nothing frilly or complicated, not even using a pattern. Its about two inches right now, after about an hour of work, and is coming along nicely. I think the white will look really good against my dark hair, and if not, I just love the clean look of white.

I'll post pictures some other time, when my dog isn't M.I.A.

Turns out I didn't take any pictures in Chicago, well, not of the beret anyways. But here it is.
(Sorry the first picture is a bit fuzzy...)
I love the buttons, I believe they are mother of pearl, and they're soo cute :)



I would love to write a letter to the creators of Google right now, because I am so frustrated by trying to login to my blog, and the password never works, even though I KNOW it's right! I have to reset everything at least once a month to be sure I can get on.
Does anyone else have that problem?

And now onto the knitterly things:
Today I started on boyfriend's scarf, the same scarf that I was going to make for my sister, but this one will have the recommended yarn, the color is something that he would like, he told me so himself. I've just casted on, so I won't bore you with pictures...yet.

I'll leave you with one last picture, although its not a knitting picture. Just one happy couple, elated to be together at last :)

Kyle and I before heading out to dinner.

Is finally done. I sewed on some buttons, and promptly put it away.
I knit it a bit too small for even my (small) head. I'll still wear it to Chicago though. Hopefully my flight isn't canceled.
I'll post pictures while I'm there.

I think I'll be starting on another hat. But not a beret, just a regular hat. Simple, fast, easy.
And maybe a little simple clutch, something I just make up as I go. I have a really pretty DK weight yarn, in a gorgeous green, so I'll use that, and then just stitch the sides up, pop on some buttons, and some inside closures, then I'm done. I have it all in my head.

I haven't been able to work on my beret for awhile, or update, due to the fact I've been busy working on my college application...So now, I will take some time to do that, as I took time to work on my hat today.
I didn't get very far, but you can definitely see the difference between the sad round little thing of a few weeks ago and the almost half complete hat of today.
Here is a photo:


I'm going to get this done before I leave for Chicago. I'm about ready to start the decreases, so maybe I'll actually finish it like I'm hoping...
I'm off to work on it some more.
Wish me luck.

P.S. I believe I never posted a photo of my tattoo. Here it is:
