First project in

First project of the year is done.

A nice red beret.  I didn't really need another beret in red as I've already got 3 at that end of the colour spectrum.  I really need a green one or a black one.  Possibly even a white.  It'll happen sooner or later.  I've got a few months until winter hits so there's time.



I indulged myself by choosing one covered in cables rather than lace.  It'll mean less utility but I have missed my cables.


I've also picked up a shawl I last worked on 20 months ago.  It turned out to be a bit of a 'nothing' day for it as I put it down for a reason so there's been a lot of working out where I was up to (not as far as I first thought) and what I'd done wrong.  I think I've worked it out but time will tell.

The pattern in question is Urdr (really pretty) and if I can do it successfully it'll hopefully give me impetus to complete some other shawls I've stalled on.  (Ravelry pattern page)

This evening I've watching a quite 'unique' show: Bare-faced cheek in which two Frenchmen are dropped naked on one side of France and need to make their way across to take a balloon ride.  No money, just what they can obtain through the kindness of strangers.
