It is my third trial of this 6-pants-beret – I won’t even show you the two first one it is so ridiculous!

This one probably doesn’t look too bad on the picture but in reality it is definitely too small…

I am quite obstinate so I know I will try again but I think I will wait a bit for that!

It should fit a little girl so if you are interrested to have it, just let me a comment on this post and I will send it to you.

In the meantine, I can just be jalous of the beautiful one made by Parfum du Ciel recently… Gree!

Pattern = A mix from Miss Mais’s tutorial, a book I found in the library (The hat book – Juliet Bawden) and a knitted beret from Katmandu  – Fabric : Red heavy cotton from Spotlight – Model: Natalie

OooOo

Un enieme echec de la fameuse casquette gavroche… trop petite ce coup ci… greee… Si elle vous interresse – pour une petite fille ou une petite tete! - laissez moi un commentaire sur ce post et je vous l’offre avec plaisir!

Edit du 20/01: La casquette va partir rejoindre Zaboudeficelle. Quand a Marilo et Vigolou qui me propose un echange, c’est avec plaisir que je vais vous concocter une sur-mesure (couleur/matiere/taille au choix) … car je crois que j’ai enfin reussi a en faire une au bonne dimension (tetue moi?) alors maintenant, faut que je m’entraine!

Swap with K-Rine #1

I have met K-Rine though her lovely blog “K-Rine & Hand“. Her secret weapon? Her beautiful little knitted berets…

I couldn’t resist so I proposed a deal she couldn’t refuse…I had this beautiful mustard-colored wool sitting in my boxes… I had tried at least 3 times to knit a hat with it but without success (too big, too small, too strange!). So the challenge for Karine will be to knit one of her cute beret with this wool…

And I must say she surpass herself:

P1000406

  1. An amazing beret just like the one I have dreamt about! With a  oh so cute coordinated knitted flower.
  2. Beautifull mittens and matching bolero (yellow and red beacause she knew I love red…)
  3. A lovely bag embroided “Graines de Folie”

I have been really spoiled, don’t you think?

OoooOOo

Un delicieux echange avec la talentueuse K-Rine qui m’a pourrie gatee avec ce joli beret, cet ensemble mitaine / bolero, et ce joli sac assorti, le tout dans un superbe degrade de jaune moutarde et rouge.

Merci Karine, je suis ravie!! Et demain, je vous montre ma part de l’echange…
