Hello......still here......just haven't snapped many shots of late as it's been a bit dreich (as us Scots like to say)! However all this indoor time has kept me busy with lots of knitting .....including a slew of beret making/designing (One pattern written up and being test knit...the other to be done asap)!
.....here's a wee selection so far (taken when the sun made a brief appearance)....
There are 2 different designs going on here, one shown in a worsted and DK weight (winey and grey ones) and the other just in DK . I wanted to test out the variety of floppiness that can be had with berets as I find it hard myself to decide how slouchy I want them to be.What about you? How much slouch do you go for in a beret?
(Just for fun-the view from the kitchen window after lots of cooking has taken place)

I love the winey one. I'm pretty relaxed about how much slouch my beret has. I think the fit of a beret is in large part down to the volume of your hair. My hair is very flat so even a medium beret looks quite voluminous.
Beautiful berets, I think I like bottom right best. I like a bit of 'flop' in my beret but for it to still fit quite high on the head. Does that make sense?
You keep me happy in bereted bliss-- I thank you for that!
I like them both. I'm like you and have a hard time deciding on slouchiness.
These are gorgeous! I like the top left one best--I think. They're all great. I like some slouch; it's my long hair and head shape. More Scottish words, please!! My ancestors are Scottish! I'm very interested.
Slouchy but not saggy, I think. It's one of those things you know when you see it. I love the maroon and gray berets -- and the photo with the model by the window is lovely.
i personally don't like much slouch, but i think ALL the berets you've made here are wonderful. i'm a beret kind of gal, but i have yet to find one here in japan that i like and me knitting one is not going to happen. so i live vicariously through your creations :)
i LOVE that last photo out the kitchen window after cooking.nice.
Beautiful berets. I like enough slouch so that the beret doesn't stick up on my head, but that I can pull it down sort of, if that makes sense.
I love them all, I can't choose. I like slouchiness depending on my mood. Its always good to have a choice.
Beautiful pictures as always
