Ah... Monday, lazy Monday.
    
      Thank God for long weekends and funny kids.  It's Victoria Day weekend here and we are hanging out and relaxing today.  It's been just what I needed.  I've been feeling pretty burnt out lately.  I'll tell you why another time.  I'm not ready to put it in writing as yet.  It isn't a completely bad thing, just not what I was expecting to happen this soon.
I don't have much I can show you right now since nearly everything I am working on is a secret. But there is a knit thing in here, even if it was done a while ago and I still can't remember what I did other than cast on a bunch of stitches (smallest needle size), seed stitch for a few rows (change to biggest needles) then YO, K2tog around. I think the second row was K2tog, YO and I think I did those two rounds changing needle sizes willy-nilly (biggest at the top, smallest at the bottom) until I nearly ran out of yarn then decreased at the bottom. It looks like a round of k2tog then a plain round another k2tog and another plain round then break yarn (leave a long tail of course) and run the tail through the live stitches. Draw into a circle and weave the end in so that it makes a star shape across the circle, or just do another round of k2tog and draw the end up tighter. Make a couple of I-cord handles and sew them on. Voila.A beach type bag  A hat.

It takes one ball of Lily Sugar n' Cream and a bunch of DPN's/Circs in different sizes. Easy-Peasy as the child has taken to saying. I think she may have a bit of a crush on Jamie Oliver. Smart kid, who wouldn't love a man that can cook like that!

Not a bad beret, no? It helps to have a cute model who loves to pose for the camera too. ;)

Haha, it makes a nice hat ... but that could be the model who's just so darn cute she makes the hat look great.
