I like knitting berets, so I think I'll have to start wearing them! I took (at least I tried to) some modeled shots of the Rustling Leaves Beret I just finished. Loved this pattern and wouldn't mind knitting it in a lovely Fall 'orangey' color sometime. I love Alana's Autumn Vines beret too, so I think I'd want to knit that first before I do another Rustling Leaves. Anyway, here's some photos (the best I could do on my own, with bright sunshine and a little too much breeze for my hair!)
Looking a little too serious I think!
Trying to keep my hair from flying all over!
Yesterday I knit another beret at the request of a friend :-) (you know who you are ;-) That's all I'll say about this one, as it may be gifted to someone from her. She wanted a simple chunky beret, so I used big needles and cast on 53sts. Increased every other stitch after the ribbing, knit 5inches more and then started decreasing.
The yarn was Sensations Angel Hair from JoAnn's Fabrics. It turned our rather nice I think, and is super warm. Might have to knit me a couple of these too ;-)

Your berets are beautiful. I have Alana's autumn vine, too, and I should really co soon.
Lovely berets & you look great. I love the Rustling Leaves Beret & have it in my list.
I like how they both turned out...very nicely done.
Lovely pictures of you and your berets!!! Your hair has gotten so long ~ mine is going in the opposite direction - LOL Now I'm excited to knit that hat too ~ but like you I've a Jared Flood pattern that I'm making. We have such similar taste!
