So, if any of you have been following my blog from the beginning, you would know that I am an avid balker, (blog stalker), and that one of my very favorite blogs belongs to designer Ysolda Teague. Well, I have recently visited her site and after being able to no longer resist her patterns decided to purchase Verity.
This wonderful leafy beret hat is sooo gorgeous! I absolutley adore the quality of the pattern and the finished result. After staying up until 1 am the first night and 2 am the second, I finished this wonderful work of art and strolled into work, (which just so happens to be a quilt/knit shop), and showed off my *cough* Ysolda’s, masterpiece. It was a hit! Everyone loved it! I had girls swarm me to try it on. And one asked me how much I wanted for it. . .lol. Silly girls, this is mine. Knit your own. ^_^
So without further ado, I am pleased to introduce, my Verity beret!
Knit from the beautiful Dream in Color yarn in the wonderous colorway Happy Forest, this beret screams bohemian chic. And how could you resist the oh so pretty Ribbed Lace Bolero by Kelly Maher also knit from Dream in Color’s Classy in colorway Ruby River? These two yarns, and patterns, compliment each other so well, I felt like I was the epitimy of knit high fashion. I have yet to post a modeled photo of the bolero, and still have yet to actually pose for it, but maybe you can get a sense with a self portrait of the beauty that is bolero.
I was searching Google Images and came across your blog by accident. Is it weird that I think you’re the cutest girl in the whole world? Okay, yeah, it’s not that weird. It is, however, very weird to be letting you know via a comment on your blog. Promise I’m not a creep, just thought it was the right thing to do. I like the hat by the way.
It has been a while since I last checked on my poor, neglected blog. But I have seen your comment and send my thanks. 🙂
