Sick and Slouchy

I've been sick for the majority of this past week...and for most of the time, I didn't even feel like knitting. In the beginning though, I redboxed a few movies, curled up with my slanket and knitted the slouchy beret pattern that a friend recently found on Ravelry.

The yarn is a Malabrigo Merino Worsted that I picked up at the Quarter Stitch in New Orleans.

the cables, up-close...















it's a shame that the best photo of all has such distorted color...


















With the leftovers, I knit a headband from a pattern someone gave me a while back. I really love this yarn. I wish I had 4 more skeins in my stash. Alas.

Berger hearts the headband.

    seriously, this kind of hat is on my "ONE day I'll be able to make this and then my life will be complete" list.

    This is the pattern I have: http://crochet-mania-hats.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2010-08-22T10:59:00-07:00&max-results=7

    but I like the yours so much, I think I'm going to look around more to find one closer to it.
