Notes: Have started today! Am using the “4ways Beret” pattern by Elise Duvekot (Knitter’s magazine, Summer 09 p44) for the bottom. I plan to use the “English Rose Tweed” patt from Barbara Walker’s 2nd treasury for the sides; at this point anyway.
In the picture, I’ve started using the Noro Chirimen & the Merino.
9/29: Sat at GW & knit for 4 hrs today! Bag is done, other than lining and drawstrings!!! Everyone thought it is pretty.
10/12: Finally done! Was knocked out last week by sinus-troubles. Poor Nat gets this late. Finished pic to follow soon ;)
