Ok, so I know that I promised more pics of me, but that has been an epic fail. It has been raining, sleeting, and where I live, there is wind. Not just breezes. I am talking about epic, gale-force wind. And I also want a pretty background. That is not my backyard. My backyard is pretty much rock and intermittent poopy patrol. Not cute. And my husband, who would take the pics, is now busy working all the time. Maybe it just isn't meant to be.
So, in the meantime, the only pics you get are my items being blocked. I did the bramble beret. I love the finished product. Right size, fascinating cables, and it held my interest. I have even started receiving compliments and requests. I used cascade 220 wool, which goes on for miles. I used a sage color. Yet another varying color of green, my fave color.
Pretty cute, huh? I have been stash busting like a mad woman. Sometimes I wish that I could have a different hat/glove/cowl/sweater color, but then I think about the raving lecture I will get from my hubby, and I suck it up. Besides, it gives me an excuse to buy a shirt/skirt/pants/blouse to match the accessory I just made!
Sneak peak:star crossed slouchy beret. It requires a full view of my head!

Very cute beret!! That's a fabulous FO, especially for stash busting! I'm so terrible at stash busting.
