More Meret

The Heiress has a lovely friend and flatmate, they met on moving in day at the university residence and have been like sisters ever since. The lovely Miss S had planned a visit over the holidays so there was only one thing to do, get out the needles and knit her a Meret of her own. I managed to finish it last night before heading out to an open house with friends, leaving the damp project to block over a dinner plate. Once I got back from walking Deacon this morning, the girls were awake and being ever so accommodating, Miss S modelled her new chapeau. It suits her red-tinted hair perfectly and looks gorgeous with her coat, I love this pattern!

  1. It's so gorgeous. I can't believe you managed to knit another one so quickly! I would love to learn how to knit like that. That's the sort of present you treasure!

  5. Danielle, Thank you! Projects that use only one skein of wool are so rewarding as they're quick.

    Vintage Reading, I love those colours as well, my husband laughs at me when I call bright shades 'vulgar'.

    verity, There were practically sparks flying from the needles!

    Kristina, Thanks so much! The blocking really makes all the difference doesn't it. D x
