Occasionally I have time to knit
But not much lately. I've had my eye on this hat ever since I saw the pattern. I whipped it up for a store model in give or take 3 days. I love it! Unfortunately, the chances of wearing it in the Houston climate are slim. Oh well. Maybe I will just crank the AC down to freezing so I can walk around in my sassy beret.
Pattern: Striped Beret from Louisa Harding's Gathering of Roses- The Accessories Collection
Yarn: Hat-Louisa Harding Kashmir DK in #11 black & #1 cream
Rosette-Louisa Harding Kimono Angora & Kimono Ribbon in #6
Notes: The Kashmir is now one of my favorite yarns of all time. The feel of it is very similar to DB cashmerino, but it is has a chain construction. Very cool.

You are SO stylin'!!! Kaity made a beret, and I tried it on, and we laughed so hard we had to pick ourselves up off the floor. I'm NOT a hat person, but I sooooo wish I was!
Amy, what a GREAT picture! Love the hat! (Where did you find the button for the flower?! Couldn't have been more perfect!)
I love it - looks great!
OOH,what a hot Momma!!!! tee hee
You're wearing the perfect outfit for the hat! Great job!
Amy - it looks even better than the one pictured in the book. Seriously. You can always wear it when you make it up to Maryland!
DERN gurl! those EYES really zing and zowie! oh, the hat is good too, lol
what sort of yarn is that behind your head? it looks a lot like the Navajo stuff I got here
The hat looks great, and it looks great on you too. I, like Lynda, am not a hat person (wish I was though).
Cute hat, but the photo of you, uh, you take better photos than that!
I'm half done with the cap sleeve top. I should have it there next week. Missy also gave me the left over Yarntopia silk to deliver to you.
Very nice, job well done! And your eyes look amazing in that picture!!!
that beret looks TERRIFIC on you. in fact, alot of hats actually look great on you. =)
You look so stylin' in your beret. Very cute!
You are too cool, woman! You look like a fashion plate in that photo.
Very cute!!

Very very adorable! Oh and the hat too!
;-)
very cute! i love it... and the picture is stylin' :)
Hey! I saw that hat today! :D I love how it matches your top. You wear hats well - too bad Houston is so hot! I guess you can wear it for our 6 days of winter next year!
that is such an adorable hat! i absolutely love the flower. 80 degree weather or no, if i made something like that, i'd wear it anyway :)
Yeah, I was going to switch yarns and colors for that one but I after seeing yours I think black and white is the way to go! It's adorable, and slightly bad-ass, like a pirate or a jailbird!
I always admire warm weather knitters, and also wish they could enjoy the lengthy bitter cold of my beloved New England. SO MANY KNITS NECESSARY!
Cute hat! When I visit the states, I'll stop by the shop.
you are too cute in that hat.
oooooh! Great hat!
I really like it. Maybe it will get cold enough in winter? Maybe you have an excuse to vacation somwhere it snows?
Amy, where can I get this pattern? Is it from a book? Do you girls carry it in the shop? I want this hat...have to have it!!!
Thanks!
