a little shout out

There's a new knitting book on the horizon.  Coastal Knits is a collaboration between Alana Dakos and Hannah Fettig.  If you pre-order their book, they will send you two of the patterns as downloads so you can knit while you wait.

After looking at the preview of the book, I decided there was enough there to justify buying the book.  Once I had the downloads in hand, I cast on for the Rustling Leaves Beret.  The yarn is King of the Jungle Merino Fingering in the colorway Cleo from Lioness Arts.

Pattern and yarn made for a very happy knitting experience and a perfect weekend knit.
