To start I want to share with you, how bad of a painter I am.

This is little bluee. He is now in charge of the $for yarn and looms, that is what I color me mine, last Sunday.

Then as you can see I got around to write the pattern for the Felted Beret.

Too hot to do anything.

                        

A very sad weekend for Bob and I. Our little Pepito, went to Hamster Heaven last night. He was our joy for over 2 years.

Felted Beret

The pattern for the Felted Beret is now avaiable.

                     You need a regular gauge board with 96 pegs around.

I used the 30" adjustable from Decor Accents.

The price is $3.49.

I didn't get to write the pattern for the felted beret, that will happen some time this week. Today is my GD's B-day party. We are going to Color me Mine. Maybe next week I show you what I get to make there.

I finished the back pack.

The black and lilac afghan, got started; Woody is back in business, that is the name of the board, made by Bob.

                                 

Then I got the fine gauge board, and did a swatch, with a beautiful thin yarn I got a few months ago, the piece turned out beautiful, now is deciding what to make with it and is the yarn going to be enough?

And in search of the perfect loom beret I decided to make a felted beret to go with the back pack. 

I would love to know which of the 3 berets I made you like the best. Here, at home, opinions are quite different.

Here is a pic of #1:

  and here is #2:  

I would love to know your opinion.

Have a great looming week and remember to click on the pics for a larger view.
