Knitting is Timeless

I had something happen to me today I just had to blog right away. My mom finally showed me some of the things my grandma knitted that she has - she died when I was young. I had already seen things like sweaters for my dolls she made and things but these really impressed me. I guess I shouldn't talk like these were knitted decades ago when they might not be that only, maybe only from the eighties, but this is where it gets weird. I've been searching EVERYWHERE for a perfect beret pattern, something with a shape but not cables. I'm only comfortable crocheting without a pattern so I just haven't started any hoping i'd find the right one at some point soon. Well, what do you know.. my grandma already knitted what I consider the perfect beret. I thought that it would be more like a classic french beret but it fits perfect in the slouchy style. okay, i'm seriously knitting nerding out, but I'm sure some of you out there can understand! here's a bad quality picture of the beret, I plan on posting a whole post showing off her other knits at another time. (when i can find my camera cord in my mess hehe)

ignore my expression, been up since 5 for work!
