foxy fini
Ooh la la! It's my stripey kid classic foxy beret. I love it, although the colors don't really go with any of my winter outerwear. But, hey, let's not think about that. Let's look at how cool it looks from the top. Next up, another aura lace cap, this time in the calmer yarn called for in the original pattern. Yum.... posted by alison at 10:23 am | in

Now, it could be the miracle of the internet, but it looks like that beautiful beret's colours suit you to a 'T". Very flattering. Posted by: Stephanie at October 6, 2004 10:55 AMSo adorable! And the bright colors are just what you need to combat the "winter blahs". :) Posted by: maeve at October 6, 2004 10:56 AMYour beret looks great and the colours are so cheerful. I think it looks better than Rowan's version. Posted by: lyn at October 6, 2004 11:14 AMVery chic! Now you'll just have to buy a new coat. Posted by: Jackie at October 6, 2004 11:31 AMadorable! All this kid classic going around is driving me crazy...I am going to have to get some! :) Posted by: Heather at October 6, 2004 2:00 PMalison...i did the aura calmer hat, in aura yar. i knit it in the round and my friend knit it flat...both were huge. i'll show you mine because i think you'll want to take out a couple of "pattern repeats" to make it smaller...i even tried to shrink it in the dryer Posted by: lisa b at October 6, 2004 3:02 PMOh Jackie, thank you for saying it for me! :) Yes, Heather: you. must. buy. kid. classic. Thanks Lisa, that's a great info and I'll be sure to mention it next time I post about the lace cap. Since I've already knit 3 aura caps, I didn't even bother trying to use the "right" number, especially since I've heard that the calmer stretches with wear. I cast on for this one with 84 stitches instead of 90 and it seems like it'll fit just right. Posted by: alison at October 6, 2004 4:33 PMWonderful hat and the colors look great on you. Posted by: Jane at October 6, 2004 6:47 PMvery cute. love those colors! Posted by: froggy at October 8, 2004 6:50 PM |
