Grace, my lovely new beret

November 08, 2005

Well, she's not SO new actually - a couple of weeks old. But I still think she's lovely! I hoped I wouldn't look like an idiot in a beret, and I don't think I do. If you do, please be kind and don't tell me! I've worn Grace a lot already, and I will a lot this winter. It was a fun pattern to knit, and very quick. I'd recommend buying kits from Kim Hargreaves, and I will again! Probably sooner than I really deserve too..... :)
Vogue says berets are super hip right now, which is novel for me!! Haha, well anyway onto the photos:

Thanks for a cool design Kim!

No, you definitely do not look like an idiot in a beret! You're one of those people who could wear most anything and look great!

being honest.

That does look great on you! I had trouble figuring out how to wear mine, and it naturally adjusted itself to the same position as yours!

i agree with monica - you'd look cute in anything!!

Lovely Jen - I really think you should take up knitting modelling (as well as pattern design) as you obviously have talent for both!

PSSSH, berets rule all the time! I always hear "I can't wear hats" and I have to say, I think the trick is to wear it with absolute confidence, even if it does look ridiculous.

(it doesn't, by the way =)

Cute cute! I love her new designs, I wish I wasn't such a cheapskate! I hope you get lots of use out of it.

That was quick knitting! The hat looks really cute on. We're supposedly heading for a cold winter, so your'll get loads of use out of it.
