to do

I bought a lot of wool this week for Christmas gifts and for my swap partner. I'll be knitting berets, mittens, scarves, and slippers! I hope I can get all of my knitting done since I have more than 5 gifts I'd like to finish before Christmas. I forgot to also mention washcloths and hanging towels. In total, I've made one hanging towel for my mom, and two for each of my grandmas.



I've knitted 4 cabled berets so far. I love knitting cables! They look so much more difficult than they are to knit. The picture above shows three of the berets-- the bottom two have 5 repeats and the top one is 4 repeats. I also made one with 3 repeats which is more like a beanie than a beret. The middle grey beret was knit with Malabrigo Merino Worsted, and the others were all knit with Patons Wool.
