Just a quick note to let you all know that I have now worked out how to add pages to my blog - YAY! So to make life easier for you, I have added a page with my patterns on.

Look Out France!!!
That's right folks, I'm heading to France for two weeks in January.
While it will be with the school, we wont be spending 24/7 with the students. While they are stuck in their language classes we will be off sight seeing and shopping, and you know what type of shopping I mean - YARN!!!
So in order for me not to freeze my butt off (it will be the middle of winter when we are there!) I have started to make some warm snuggly things.
First up, the head! Grace Lace Beret. OMG! I love this pattern. This is the first charted pattern I've done and it is so easy to follow, I don't know why I haven't done one before. Only thing I changed was instead of doing the crochet cast on and then increase to 120 stitches, I simply cast on 120 and started the rib band. I think it would have been rather tight if I had not skipped the crochet cast on.
And because I LOVE this pattern SO MUCH I have made two, with a possible third in the works.

This one is made with Evoke Hand dyed 8ply. Takes less than 100grams, maybe 70-80grams.
And this one is made from Bendigo Woollen Mills Rustic 8ply in Berry.
O.K, now I need suggestions. I have an Azzu blocking as I type (next post I promise) and I have a wonderful Ysolda Teague cardi that I cast on the other day, but what else do I need? Help?!
