  • It turned out pretty well, it was my first time improvising a pattern from looking at a finished piece. I ran out of yarn right before transitioning from the top of the beret to the head band, but my wife let me use some of her black yarn to finish it off.

    There’s a little bit of a visual indication that the black starts before the end of the round, but it’s only like 10 stitches (out of 100) so it’s not very noticeable.

    The top of the beret – had some slight problems, but I wormed my way around them. I think I may have made too many sections (10 is a lot) but it's too late now, lol.

    The underside of the beret.







  • To actually address the question, it’s because commercial buildings don’t (generally) meet residential building code requirements, even if there’s a kitchenette and a shower, etc. They are simply not meant for the same purpose or to be occupied 24/7 unless they were engineered that way from the start, which is exceedingly rare. A lot of office buildings have floor-to-ceiling windows and complex HVAC systems simply to make sure people aren’t cold, breathing stale air, or too humid/dry, so they also use a lot of energy.
