It’s been raining solidly for the last few days. Which is my excuse for being a bad blogger and hat recipient. That and Saturday morning, when it wasn’t actually raining, my camera battery decided that it was the perfect time to need recharging. Basically, this is a long-winded way of posting about the gorgeous hat that Cairi sent me as part of our tiny, three person hat swap. :-)

The pattern I chose was the Art Deco Beret from the Fall 2007 issue of Knitscene (Ravelry link). I decided on a gorgeous pale pink shade of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino and my favourite Jaeger (*sniff*) pearl beads and sent the whole lot off to Cairi who was a complete star. :-D

Sadly, until the rain stops, this very ropey, pre-battery deadness photo will have to do:

Art Deco Beret

I took this as a test shot and straight afterwards my camera started bleeping and telling me to change the battery and refused to do another thing. :-(

I now have a couple of indoor pics, though, which show just how splendid and beautiful my new hat is:

It is so snug and the nicest hat I have ever had. :-D
