v 2.3
My Malabrigo beret, second version, third try. I still don't know what exactly went wrong with my first attempts to make a replacement for my lost hat. I am equally clueless about what might be so different about this third try, but, for whatever reason, I'm getting a good feeling about this one. It even feels like my old hat in my hands, on the needles. So I'm knitting away, daydreaming about Goldilocks: 'this one is just right.' I hope it's not just a fairy tale. I don't want to make v 2.4. posted by alison at 12:23 pm | in

Nice hat. Looks purty. Makes me want to haul out some Malabrigo just for the pure sensual pleasure of knitting with it. But I have to work on the lapghan I promised my oldest grand - doubled Encore worsted size 11 needles, my own pattern in a pale blue. I had planned on making the 3 of them rag quilts for Xmas (their house in Palo Alto is chillier than you would believe!) for cuddling up to read or watch videos but he wanted a knitted one. His mother still has the afghan I knit for her when she went off to college & he has always loved to cuddle with her (or me) under it.
