Pattern: L'Slouch, free pattern from Knit & Tonic
Yarn: Terra by The Fiber Company, 2 skeins in Black Walnut
Needles: bamboo DPNs, sizes 7 and 9
Notes: I'm running off to my first Spider Double Baby Shower, so don't have much time for notes. Luckily this is a simple pattern, so there's not much to say. Seed stitch is the perfect texture for showing off this amazing yarn. Also, I fear that the yarn, while amazing, may stretch, making L'Slouch more L'Slouch than the L'Slouch you see here.
Don't you agree that this is the perfect photographers' cap?

The hat looks great...I love the color.
Posted by: Becca at February 18, 2007 5:02 PMLovely! It suits you quite well. :)
Posted by: Alison at February 18, 2007 5:15 PMOui, c'est vrai, c'est parfait
;)
It's a beautiful hat! I love the way the seed stitch looks. You did a great job!
Posted by: seedless grape at February 18, 2007 6:09 PMYou look beyond fab in the L'Slouch.
Posted by: gina L at February 18, 2007 6:38 PMAdorable hat and adorable photos. I may just have to try this pattern out myself. And yes, the pattern does suit the photographer-look quite well.
Posted by: sulu-design at February 18, 2007 7:12 PMThat's lovely! So lovely it makes me seriously reconsider my fear of double-pointed needles...
Posted by: Laura at February 18, 2007 7:28 PMI was so afraid to try this one b/c my Somewhat Cowl came out so awful. I may have to come back to her.
Posted by: lola at February 18, 2007 7:48 PMthat yarn is lovely! le slouch is definitely on my list, although I probably won't knit it until I get to the UK (sob - I really can't justify buying any yarn or knitting anything at the moment as I can't afford it and it will probably only get left here anyway)
Posted by: sarah at February 18, 2007 7:55 PMAdorable!
Posted by: Nadia at February 18, 2007 8:23 PMLove the hat, hmmmm should I make this? I dont really look good in hats, but everyone seems to look good in this one!
Posted by: Sherry at February 18, 2007 9:04 PMJ'adore L'Slouch. Looks fabulous on you!
Posted by: Lisa at February 18, 2007 9:06 PMWonderful! I just did Le Slouch too, in some leftover Noro....eh. I need to try it again in a solid or with more subtle color variation. I love yours!
Posted by: Beth at February 18, 2007 9:18 PMI have to agree that the seed stitch is nicely suited to your yarn. I have been considerin making this hat with some black yarn, but maybe that's not the ticket.
Your L'Slouch looks lovely on you.
Posted by: Momo at February 18, 2007 10:21 PMHow pretty and chic! C'est tres jolie!
And it definitely slouches just so. I made a beret recently, but perhaps I was looking more for a slouch like this--
Oh well, I'll just stand back and admire yours :)
Posted by: kodachrome at February 18, 2007 11:58 PMLove it! It is the perfect hat. Great yarn, too. And how adorable are you in those photos?
Also, I take it L'Slouch is fun to say. ;)
P.S. - Hope you had a great time at the double-baby shower.
Posted by: Maritza at February 19, 2007 12:06 AMYes, perfect photographers cap!
Posted by: Ronikins at February 19, 2007 1:45 AMThat looks fantastic! I love it!
Posted by: Vickery at February 19, 2007 1:56 AMDid you work the main part for less than 6 inches. I ask as I just finished mine, which turned out way too l'slouchey and think I might frog it downa bit.
Posted by: alice at February 19, 2007 4:37 AMIt has such a cool vintagey look - you look very Lois Lane-esqe (I mean that in a good way, I wanted to be like her when I was a little kid).
Posted by: MeBeth at February 19, 2007 6:38 AMYou look so great in that hat! The yarn looks amazing - the colors are perfect.
Posted by: mari at February 19, 2007 8:31 AMlovely hat and super-cute photos! i love the color of that yarn.
Posted by: amisha at February 19, 2007 8:39 AMtres chic!
Posted by: ann at February 19, 2007 8:56 AMoo la la!
Posted by: domesticat at February 19, 2007 9:02 AMCould you be any cuter in that thing?! Love it!
Posted by: Cheryl at February 19, 2007 9:31 AMi love how it turned out! c'est magnifique!
Posted by: gleek at February 19, 2007 9:49 AMooh-la-lovely! (I am somewhat knew to knit blogging, but I truly enjoy reading yours!)
-Chelsea
I had to come out of lurking to compliment you on your L'Slouch! And also to mention that the whole look is very Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde (and I mean that in a good way!)
Posted by: Katie K. at February 19, 2007 11:07 AMYou are le cute as a button.
Posted by: Gina at February 19, 2007 11:33 AMTrop Parfait! I should be wearing one when I'm taking photos... The seed stitch *is* perfect for that yarn.
Posted by: Aimee at February 19, 2007 12:04 PMThat counts as the best L'Slouch ever. Your pictures are phenomenal.
Posted by: schrodinger at February 19, 2007 12:20 PMAll you need to be the ultimate in French photography is the tight black shirt and pants.
It really suits you.
Posted by: Dorothy B at February 19, 2007 12:56 PMOh my gosh, so cute! The yarn you picked is perfect for your hair and skin tone...no teeny bopper purple or pink for you! Cute, cute pic of you, too! I just said cute three times, I need to go back to college.
Posted by: Julia MacRobbie at February 19, 2007 1:20 PMThat looks beautiful on you! It is the perfect photographer's hat!
Posted by: tiennie at February 19, 2007 4:02 PMOk, I definitely need my own L'Slouch, but I know I'll be too spacey on homeymoon to knit with dpns. Do you think it would work ok knit flat with a seam in the back?
(And I know, knitting on honeymoon may seem... unromantic. But it's a month long, and he's accepted the knitting...)
The hat looks really flattering on you with your hair color!
Posted by: Debby at February 19, 2007 5:19 PMThat's a great color on you!
Posted by: Cristina (CrissyPo) at February 19, 2007 9:26 PMThat is a really cute hat, and it's really cute on you...not everyone could get away with something like that. Love it, I think I must do one too! ;)
Posted by: Carrie at February 19, 2007 10:36 PMYou look so adorable in these pictures! I love your L'Slouch, it is so cute on you! And yes, you look like quite the chic photographer. :)
Posted by: Jessica at February 20, 2007 10:54 PMSimply beautiful! I love the depth of the color in that yarn, and such a great design. I looks really adorable on you. I hope it doesn't l'slouch too much!
Posted by: megan at February 21, 2007 7:32 AML'Slouch looks great on you!
Posted by: Miss Scarlett at February 21, 2007 8:30 AMOK,I had NO desire to make a beret until I saw your pics! Now, I am dying to make one. Looks gorgeous.
Posted by: tiffanykapri at February 21, 2007 11:32 AMVery cute! Love the "action shot!"
Posted by: Nonnahs at February 21, 2007 11:40 AMGorgeous! I wonder if I could pull that look off. It looks wonderful on you (particularly with the camera).
Posted by: Corvus at February 21, 2007 2:14 PMLove it! A fabulous hat!
Posted by: Suzanne at February 21, 2007 2:16 PMI love slouchy beret type hats! I need to put that hat on my to do list, but it's already so long! Guess one more won't hurt!
Posted by: Loren at February 21, 2007 5:31 PMI love that hat! I'm going to take up knitting just to get that hat. The color and style really suits you too!
Posted by: Notsocrafty at February 21, 2007 11:38 PMThat color and style suite you well, I'm seriously going to take up knitting just to get my hands on that hat.
Posted by: Notsocrafty at February 21, 2007 11:39 PMWell, looks like you found somthing to do with that lovely yarn! It looks great!
Posted by: Silver Ilix at February 22, 2007 12:06 AMI had a problem with my Mist tam getting too slouchy after a few wearings, and I'm happy to report that skimming a couple of lines of elastic thread through the inside of the band solved the problem just perfectly. Le Slouch (no, I can't turn off my inner editor long enough to type L' when there's a following consonant) looks parfait!
Posted by: Sarah at February 22, 2007 2:49 PMLe Cool!
Posted by: Keanalee at February 25, 2007 1:11 AMThe hat looks GREAT on you...it looked terrible on me and has already been turned into something else. I think I just don't have the style to carry it off. I loved the pattern, though.
Posted by: Rebecca at February 28, 2007 9:32 AMSo cute!
Posted by: BrownPants at March 1, 2007 6:20 PMAs my son would say, I think your hat looks 'cooooooooooooool'!
Posted by: Nikki at March 12, 2007 8:28 AMcould you please tell me if the lovely pattern for the slouch hat is available on line. Thanking you
