It's complete! Mwahahaha!

The BERET is completed!
(insert Wild Dance of JOY [here])

I went to the Knit & Sip meeting on Thursday and the ladies hassled me into finishing it _right_ then.

A photographer from the Times-Picayune was actually there to take pictures for a blurb about the group; when I finished, they made me slap it on my head and pose. I'm such a geek.

So now I'm in the midst of making the matching scarf- Lion Brand Yarn Chenille Thick & Quick Rainbow Print Denim. The Beret and scarf patterns are inside the wrapper. I'm going to knit the scarf as it will only take 2 skeins instead of the 3 for the crochet version.
It ends up being 76" long, then you turn up each end to form pockets.

I love it.

A scarf with pockets.

It may take me a bit longer (ha) to do than the beret, but it's gonna rock so much when it is complete.

Wheeeeeee!
