sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry...........please forgive me

It has been about 5 weeks since my last post. I am so sorry, please forgive me. Things here have been...............well lets say a bit busy, but I have still been knitting, mostly machine knitting. Oh yea I also went to New York for 8 days. Well it was my daughter's 16th birthday present. Children are not cheap. I did manage to visit some yarn shops in New York but not as many as I wanted to. Also I missed Rhinebeck. How I cried. We were up nice and early the Sunday morning to go but in my excitement we jumped on the number 62 going in the wrong direction from Newark International Airport away from Newark Penn Station. We needed to get to Newark Penn Station to get the Path train into New York Penn Station to then catch the train to Rhinebeck. And of course because of the mistake I made we missed the train to Rhinebeck by minutes. Maybe next year.

Anyway, have a look at what is on my needles, or shall I say needle since I am using a circular needle. A mock rib beret. I have already completed one in school grey and I'm on my second one in beige. A very quick and easy project.
