Today my cousin and I went downtown to do some shopping with some christmas money and gift cards we received. We went to Macy's, Forever 21, and the new H&M. All were super busy, especially H&M, Portland has been wanting one for years, and they had some pretty cute stuff! I got some socks :)
A few weeks ago I finished this beret to match my yellow cardigan. When I made the cardigan I knew I wanted a matching hat, but after watching The Secret Garden I just had to make a huge floppy beret like Marys. I would post the pattern I used, but I just had it as a guideline, I couldn't find one that was close enough to hers, so it turned out nothing like the original pattern :)
And isn't this little kitty necklace cute? I saw it and just fell in love with it, it has green eyes just like Hobbes!
The third photo is of a spot in Pioneer Square where you can stand and anything you say echos in a weird, eery way. It's always fun to do, before I knew about it, I would just see people standing there, saying "Hello!" to no one. It's right by the corner Starbucks, in the middle of the circular steps. Go there and echo!

Oh, I LOVE your beret. Look at that big pom-pom. So lovely. And the best inspiration, too. =D I just bought 'The Secret Garden' on DVD the other day and I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival. Sigh.

That necklace is adorable! I love this whole ensemble. That mustard-y shade of yellow is one of my favorite colors.

So talented! I can knit a scarf, but anything with a pattern looks so impossible - amazing job!!! You look so perfectly put together as always :>)
yellow/mustard/whatever it's called looks great on you! Love your bag also.
' Would like to go and echo sometimes, haha!
Cutest little kitty necklace ever (I'm such a cat person!), and I love your beret.

I like the way the cat is grinning on the necklace. Very Alice in Wonderland.

that echo spot os cool. at grande central station in nyc theres this hallway that has theres curved ceilings that if you stand in one corner, and have a friend and in the oposite, you can whisper into the corner and they will hear ut in the other side!
Cute pictures! It's cool to see the Portland background made into art. I live and work here and sometimes forget how pretty it is.
Loving the Beret...always reminds me of the Railway Children, you should try rolling back your fringe just like they do!
Love the kitty necklace with the emerald eyes! Looks lovely with your outfit!
Amazing sweater ! And the colour fits great ; )

You are adorable! Just as pretty as a picture!
Just stumbled onto your blog, and I love it! Also love the fact that your beret inspiration came from The Secret Garden. I LOVED that version as a kid.
Keep up the great posts!

You should totally post a pattern of your beret! I have been looking for a similar pattern online since I first saw it and I can't find ANYTHING close. arrgh!
Autumn, I would feel weird posting it since I changed it so much but email me and I'll send you the link!
Hi Solanah,
Firstly, I love love love your outfit and your whole blog - so inspirational and fun :)
I'm new to knitting and I live in Perth, Australia where there aren't many places to find supplies - was wondering what yarn you use and if there's an online store which might ship here you can recommend.
Thanks !
Hello Kim! Thanks you so much!
I order from this site, but unfortunately they don't ship outside of the us and canada. But maybe if you have a friend in the states they can order for you! The yarn is super cheap, and the wools I've ordered are great.

Thank you !!! that site looks great and I've got some family in the US so I'll definitely look into it :)
