Gwen Slouchy Beret


I bought some beautiful yarn the other day, two skeins of this amazing multi-colored stuff called Marble. I got one brown and tealish skein and one pink-red rainbowey kind of yarn. It's really hard to explain, but the pictures of this project and the following with the brown will show you. Plus it's pretty cheap yarn, so go out and nab some for yourself. I'm thinking about going back to the store I got it from and getting each of the other colors.

The pattern is The Gwen Slouchy Beret, which I found off of Ravelry (God, I love that site).

See the small subtle color changes? It's better in real life and with better light :\ But whatevs. I want to make awesome spiral socks with the other color, so we'll see how that goes...

Abbreviations: k: knit p: purl sl1kw: slip 1st stitch knit-wise sl1pw: slip 1st stitch purl-wise BC: place 2sts on a cable needle in the back, k2, k2 from cable needle FC: place 2sts on a cable needle in the front, k2, k2 from cable needle Cast on 30 stitches.

How to waste $28 worth of yarn.

1. Don't gauge a damn thing. 2. Just wing the entire pattern like an idiot. 3. Throw it in the washer to give it a "light felt" for 5-10 minutes, but then proceed to forget about it for an hour. 4. Shrink it so it's so small nothing fits in it... >. IN OTHER NEWS. I got my first non-mom haircut ever, and my first one in 12 years! BEFORE: AFTER: I
