Odessa and Calorimetry

I am yet to knit something for myself that I love and wear. Hopefully I will love Odessa because right now I am not quite convinced. I always look like a boy when I am wearing beanies. Oh and no beads, suprise suprise.

The new Calorimetry is for the girls lovely nanny, Sasha. She might even let me get a photo of her modeling it.

Beads?

The thought has never occurred to me to add beads to my knitting. I casually watched when it was demonstrated on Knitty Gritty but it has not interested me until today when I stumbled upon Odessa at Mag Knits. It is an extra feminine touch to an already exquisite hat.

Must add it to my knit list, and I will bet right now that I make it without beads in the end. Too much effort to find some I like then to string 150 of the little blighters.

For the record, I was looking for a leg warmer pattern for B at the time, and no I did not find one that I liked.
