my sister's new hat

My sister is the better knitter of us both.  She 's always a few steps ahead of me.  When I told her I was going to make a baret, she showed me the one she'd just finished.  
I loved the colours, it was really very fashionable. 

isn't she gorgeous ? 

When she had finished knitting it, she was a bit dissapointed with it.  Too soft, not firm enough to stay on her head as it should.  So, brave as she is, she threw it in the machine and washed it at 60 ° C.  Twice !


Now it is felted, and perfect.  It retains its shape better, and is more windproof than before.

    Indeed she is brave! I would never ever have done this. But the result is amazing and the hat is beautiful. Her bravery was rewarded :)
