I should be working on student journals, but I'm not, and I'll be cursing myself later for it, but right now I want to share with you the new yarn I bought! I love yarn.
   It's super soft and I've no clue what to make with it, but I don't care, it's lovely. Sorry the photos are fuzzy, if I had taken them wish a flash they would have looked worse. Edit 4/1/2008: Sorry I should have given specs on the yarn, it is 100% wool, but oh so soft, I think it's DK weight. I bought 500 grams and am making this with it, but I don't think a) it's going to be big enough and b) I'll have enough yarn. I really should swatch. Sunday, March 2

This past week I took a break from working on Lady Eleanor to make the One Day Beret. But because my schedule's been so buy with teaching starting up, it took me a couple days. The first one I made didn't come out so well.
I didn't knit enough rounds so it wasn't floppy enough, and then when it came time to reduce the number of stitches for the brim, I didn't reduce enough, so the brim's way too big. The second one came out much better.
