Completed January Project

Here is a look at the completed set.  The scarf measures 73" long by 2 3/4" wide.  The opening of the beret is about 17 1/4".  Next on the to-do list is to open up a shop on Etsy and search for my February project.

Finished Beret

My January project is complete.  I finished the beret last night.  I ended up adding 10 additional rows in the middle of the hat to make it fit.

More Beret

Looks like I'm definitely going to have to add some more rows to make this fit. According to the pattern, I only have about 10 more rows to go. By the looks of it, I'm going to have to add at least double that.


On another note, I finally found a home for all the yarn that was stashed in the back of my closets. I got a large plastic storage box on sale at Target last weekend and actually organized all of my yarn, hooks and other crochet stuff. Now I just need to find a home for the box.

First Look: Beret

I sat down to start the beret and ended up finishing about 1/3 of it (according to the pattern). It looks like I'm going to have to add a few rows in the middle to make it big enough. I started with the plum yarn and am planning to add the grey as edging at the bottom.

Finished Scarf

The first part of my first project is complete. I was able to get the scarf done a lot faster than I thought. Here’s the finished piece.

First Look: Scarf

I decided to start this two part project with the scarf. I am planning on using the grey for the body of the scarf and the plum for the edging. Here’s a look at the beginning stages of the scarf.
