Big Button Beret

[Miss Crochet]

I just needed a nice new skein of yarn. I really did. It was a medicinal skein of yarn, honest. And it became a hat. I needed a hat. Or I will need a hat, once the temperatures sink about 40 degrees. So this is the result of what was very obviously a crafting emergency:

Hi Ducky!

I bought it on Ebay for €5 here in Germany. I think it belonged to a hairdresser. We call her Gladys and I use her to frighten my husband a lot I could've bought a short-necked one, but I decided that the long-necked one would be handier for modelling scarves, for example. (see picture here - just scroll down till Gladys appears.) Here's a link to German Ebay to show you the type of thing that you can buy - I'm sure you'd be able to get one in the US as well.

Thank you very much (and if that's your son on your blog, he's just so cute! What a sweetheart! )
