So here's my slouchy beret that I finished.
The thing is, it looks just like a regular beret to me. Kind of.
When I think of a slouchy beret, there is a certain kind of look that I think of.
And what I have done, doesn't really look it. I had posted this type of question on my facebook page, and I got some really good suggestions on what my problem is. Well, not really problem, it's just that I am a tight knitter and a tight crocheter. Someone suggested that I crochet with a larger needle, when I'm trying to get a looser look. Since, I could just tell, as I was crocheting, that mine wasn't turning out the way that I thought it should.
Here's some pictures of what I think a slouchy beret should look like:
I can't even tell you why I think these look it, and mine doesn't. I can't even describe it. It's like when is a beret a slouchy beret, and when is a slouchy beret a rasta hat. Now a tam, I can describe. It's not slouchy and it's not even beret-like. It's just kind of sits on the head, like a round box.
Anyway, my next thoughts are, should I add a rose to this slouchy beret or not?
So, I wanted to take a bit of a break from the sock/leg warmer and decided to try to make some slippers. Here's the yarn that I am using.
The first picture was on my bed sheets, but I didn't think you could really see how red the color of the yarn was, so I took a picture of the yarn again over by the black tv. Real red right?

So, I'm a little bit more than halfway done. Kind of excited. Then it will be on to the foot part of the sock.
One of the kids at church said it looked like leg warmers. I wanted to get mad, but I couldn't, cuz I was thinking the exact same thing. I was thinking, "what could I call this sock"? That's what I was thinking, then I asked one of the kids at church. The one who said this looked like leg warmers. I was asking him," what do you call something that's half sock, half leg warmer"? He said stockings. I was thinking maybe something called, leg socks.
