Sikkim
Pattern: Sikkim by Kirsten Kapur
Yarn: Dalegarn Baby Ull
Needles: 2.25mm and 3.25mm
Start Date: October 6th 2008
Finish Date: October 22nd 2008
I love my new beret so much! It was a blast to knit, just when I got used to one pattern it would change into another. Not a dull moment to be had.
This yarn was originally bought to knit Norweigan Stockings with but as I’ve had it over two years and still have not yet attempted fair isle I figured it would be ok to use it. That and the colours would be perfect for this slouch. Baby Ull was really nice to knit with, very soft and smooshy, I’ll have to keep it in mind for some baby knits.
I plan on knitting another one in a burgandy/wine later on but next on the agenda are mitts to match my new hat!

I think you made a wise choice to hold off on the stockings because your Sikkim looks delightful!

This looks awesome! The colors really compliment you. Great job! I was looking at your other post and see that you live quiet handy to Cricket Cove. I’m sooooo jealous! I live an hour from the one in Blacks Harbour. I dont get there very often, but when i do i LOVE my visits! I’m actally hoping to get down there in the next couple of weeks for some xmas stock up. My dh wants a sweater, something i’ve never knit before! Anyways, i’m fairly new to reading your blog and am enjoying it. Thank you!

It looks wonderful! The first time I saw that pattern I wanted to knit it, too. I’m thinking about knitting it for one of my daughters since I’m not really a ‘hat’ person. Hope it was a fun knit.
