Hey! I was looking through your blog, and again, I'm so impressed by your skills! I really want one of those berets, can I special order one? Pre-etsy shop?
Re: reine
Thanks! Which beret are you talking about? The purple Baroness one? That is someone else's pattern, unfortunately. But I did finish a very similar green one this week! It's drying right now, so I haven't taken any pictures of it yet.
Do you have a color/style in mind?

Do you like the weight of the yarn? Would you want something finer? Any particular fibers you like (wool, alpaca, silk)?
I ask because the only off-white I have lying around is a really really fine weight and it would take me a while to make a whole hat out of it. I could definitely get something heavier, but I want to make sure I get something you like.

I LOVE alpaca! We went to an all things alpaca store in Park City, UT and I'm surprised we made it out with money in our pockets! But I would be willing to consider other fibers.
I'm also willing to consider other colors. It looks like the berets are relatively small projects, so I don't want to have you go out and buy something! I think a medium weight would be good, but you're the expert. Nothing that's going to be too tedious for you.
Oh good, alpaca's my favorite
Nothing could be tedious working with alpaca and berets only take ~3 hours.
The problem is that most of the yarn I have kicking around right now is a pretty fine weight because I just can't go through it as fast. I try not to have too monstrous a stash because it scares hubby.
Two suggestions: There are a bunch of yarn shops that are really really close to me. I can pop over tomorrow or Monday and see if I can find ~150 yards of alpaca. No trouble at all, I love yarn shopping.
This is the hat I just finished:
The color is actually a little lighter than this because it's wet in the picture. It's merino, but it's washable. I will not be offended in the slightest if you would rather a different color/fiber/lace texture. Just let me know.
