my creative space… (or a bevy of berets)
You’ve worked out what was in my creative space last week by now, haven’t you? A bevy of berets (and a beanie or two)!
I got a bit excited and pretty much churned out one a day over the course of a week. Five of these are for Sew It Together; the other four are possibly for the coworkers who really, really wanted one after watching me hooking away during my breaks. I might even keep one for me.
The slouch berets are all Raspberry Berets (Ravelry link), crocheted with a 6.5mm hook and a variety of partial balls of yarn that were languishing in my stash. Now they’re all gone! They are all 10 or 12 ply yarns, and include Patons Jet, Lincraft Prism, Bendigo Woollen Mills 12 ply Rustic and Debbie Stoller’s Bamboo Ewe. The beanies were crocheted in Panda Rhumba and Moda Vera Manor, which were not at all enjoyable to use. Thank goodness they’re all used up and I’ll never have to crochet with them again. But I loved making the berets!
Now my commuting project is washcloths. I wonder what all the serious business types on the train and tram think about my crochet projects? What’s going on in your creative space?
Fabulous! I need to make one for me too now.
What a wonderful mix of berets – really shows how they change with different yarns
I LOVE this so colourful and yeah for stash busting!!
They’re very stylish! I especially like the red (or is it orange?!) one – right up my street!
I’m in love.
Lara! They are beautiful! I wonder if it’s too late to get in on this sample swap at SIT!
Oooh very nice – I hope I am in your group!
One a day – clever you.
What a great set of berets! So fun to see them all together.
How very wonderful..love them all. You have been busy!
