Last week at knit night, there was shock and horror when I mentioned not having a hat for Scotland. In reality I did have a hat, I just didn't like it. I had made it to match a scarf I made and was never really happy with it (loved the scarf). I also am picky about hats, I don't like them too tight!
Now the good people that knitters are....I had many, many hats offered to me. Instead I decided to frog the old hat and try again! It still isn't a perfect hat, but is much better! and will keep me warm!

Pattern: One day Beret
Yarn: Rowan Kid Classic....no idea what color it was....but I do remember it was a Christmas gift from my SIL! :)
Needles: US 8
Mods: None, just had to make sure I didn't run out of yarn!
Now it is packed and on its way to Scotland! I'll keep you updated!
P.S.-Mom my face really isn't looking this good, got to love the fact that photos can be touched-up!

Smashing! A perfect choice for you and your upcoming trip. I'm so jealous....
Oh Leah, you look so lovely in that hat and sound so excited about your trip! Philippians 4:19 (P.S. Hope you're able to get to Stirling and the Wallace National Monument!)
It looks cute on you! Nice re-make.
Hope everything goes smoothly in Glasgow! K1 yarns is meant to be worth a visit! ;-)

The that looks great. Have a great time. BTW do you think you could fit me in your suitcase? I could use a vacation. Of course I'd be gone from my babies for two minutes and want to come back home....maybe that's not such a good idea. :)
Mighty nice, my dear.
You cease to amaze me, Leah! Have a wonderfully fun and productive trip. P.S. Do you remember my face doing the same thing our last year at KSU? I think it was simply stressed out!
Leah, I love your hat! It's perfect and looks so cute on you! I'm praying for you right now!
Love, Mom

That looks so cute, and so do you. That happy smile has got to coming from the thoughts of your up-coming trip. I can't imagine packing for a month...I can hardly do a week's worth without over-packing! I truly hope you have a wonderful time and are able to keep us posted!
When do you leave? You look smart in that hat, really smart.
