Ooooh, she knit something in purple. I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you.
(sorry about the relatively poor quality of the photos – I’m knee-deep in curtain poles, screwdrivers and plaster dust!)
The colour of the hat is way off – it’s a much deeper purple that this.

LOVE that hat! I had it on a possible to-do list for my mum, who has requested a beret, and thought maybe too floppy, but it actually doesn’t look like it. Looks like it might be perfect.
Not too floppy at all. The cables make a really firm fabric and it isn’t too slouchy at all. Plus it’s an excellently written pattern.
It’s lovely!
Gorgeous hat, love the beautiful cables. Such cute ear rings!!!!
Ooh! Super cute set! Ysolda has very lovely designs and that purple is a gorgeous color to choose for them. I am a bit sad to think it’s winter time though…Well that’s pretty darn relative where I am, but you know what I mean
Absolutely FABULOUS =))
Sod the knitting…tell me about the excellent earrings!!!!
I luuuurrrrrve earrings.
