Beret & Star Wars

We were to be going to a Star Wars birthday party this afternoon but the pirate is sick. We have been snuggling up on the lounge watching Star Wars instead - and I had a chance to finish Carmel's beret. It looks kinda cute don't you think? Though not very beret like - the pattern said beret and I followed the pattern quite carefully - I think it is more fez than beret. A cute fez, but a fez.

And instead of wearing his costume to the party the pirate set it out on the floor - I particularly love the arms!

the working week

Is over - and isnt it so nice to be at this end of the week? It has been a difficult week at work - trying to get things accomplished is not always successful. But...I rode my bike to work today for the first time in months - which was heaven. I even managed to squeeze a few rows of my new beanie/beret in at lunch time and a couple more at our Friday afternoon beer tasting - one of my work mates is a fabulous maker of traditional beers. I love the opportunity to kick back and try all kinds of beers.

Work may be frustrating at times -but with knitting you always see some progress. It gladdens the heart.
