Progress photo of the jaunty, floppy beret I made myself. The pattern is the Mary Jane Hat/Pithy Hat – this is the Mary Jane version, which makes me feel kind of like a superhero. Or, I guess, a superhero’s girlfriend, which in a way is a more powerful position.
This stitch pattern is gorgeous, but was honestly kind of a pain in the ass to knit – it’s easy enough to memorize, just alternating k2togs or p2togs and yarn overs, but it’s the kind of stitch pattern where I have to actually look at my knitting every so often. I tried taking it in to knit during one of our medical imaging lectures – we have to pay attention but are not supposed to take notes, which means there is roughly a 90% chance I will fall asleep about a half hour in – and it was not the best project. It worked okay, but I couldn’t keep my eyes on the presentation the whole time like I could have if I was just working on plain stockinette.
