Yes, yes. It's awesome. Also, it only took me about 11 months to finish. WIN!I used organic cotton handspun yarn from the fabulous Tara over at The Blonde Chicken (she's @blondechicken on twitter) and I got it from her so long ago that I don't remember what the colorway is called anymore. Which is sad, because it's super cute. I bought myself a membership to her Yarn Adventure Club as my Armini is going to China without me present (aka - the grief knitting).
The reason that this took me forever is that I have this crazy ability to unravel handspun yarn pretty much by looking at the wrong way. So I would be knitting along, happy as a clam, and then the yarn would just fall apart in my hands. Needless to say, I got tired of it pretty quickly and went on to knit other things. But last week I was digging around for something to knit on and found this and thought I would give it another go. And I finished it!
It's huge though. Like, way too big. And I'm terrified to wash it because I love it and I don't want it to do anything crazy, like burst into flames, if I try to block it. So I'm thinking that I'm just going to leave it like it is. I'm already referring to it lovingly as my Thinking Cap. Why is that do you ask?
Because it's big enough for all my dreams to fit inside.

Oooh... I really like the color!
Yay!
And it shouldn't burst into flames if you put it in a sink full of warmish water.
But it's cotton, so there's not a lot you can do to make it smaller :(
Very cute! It's a great color!
I lovelovelove slouchy berets. Seriously LOVE.
