Brambles Beret

I love things that knit up quickly and easily. It's a lot of fun to work on projects that require more thought and time but sometimes the quick is what you need. This beret for a friend was exactly that.



I swore I had enough yarn to make it. I got closer to the end and started praying I had enough. Finally though it was far too obvious that I didn't have enough to finish the beret. So off we went to the store. They still had the same dye lot of the yarn that I'd bought a year ago! I wouldn't have to start over from the beginning! And because I only needed about 20 yards of the Cascade 220 ... I still have more than enough to make something for myself. Win!

      It's certainly one of my favorite colors, but I'm pretty convinced you can never go wrong with purple.

    Wow, love the color and the cable design! I agree, trot off and get a lotto ticket, you've got some major luck going on finding the same dye lot!

      Hubby was asking about buying a lotto ticket, perhaps I should have let him. *laugh*

    Yes its great, love the colour. I have only knit one sweater in Cascade, loved it so maybe in the future will have to check out the on-line stores again, for this yarn.
