Knitted by Hand

I got a wonderful surprise in the mail the other day: A hand-knit sweater with matching beret from my Nana and Papa's friend Linda.  Purely by coincidence the pink and lavender outfit I was wearing that day coordinated perfectly with my new knitwear.  Here's what Linda wrote on the note she enclosed:
"Dear Julie, I hope I didn't miss a size 'window' for Vivian. Just got busy with several family babies - 2011 was quite a year - 3 in October. We think of you often and loved your Christmas card. Gavin looked so happy!  Was Brandon tickling him?  Love, Linda & George. PS - The beret might be too much!"

What do you think; is the beret too much? 

I don't think so either!
