You already know I’m a Knitter. So I Bought a Fun Hat but….

When I ordered this denim hat on my new phone, I used Apple Pay. Unfortunately when I looked at the email with the tracking for delivery of the prompt shipment, I noticed that the shipping address was a place in Rockville Maryland! What? Ooops.

A place I’d never searched, never visited, how could this be?

I still cannot understand how it came into my order. I googled the address and found a children’s haircutting place. What the heck? If it had been a yarn store…..

And I called the place and asked them to look for a package addressed to me and please please please Return to Sender. Fingers crossed.

And although it was my oversight on the incorrect shipping address, the owner and maker Malena at Thanks, I Made It Company shipped me another hat! It arrived today in the loveliest pink box. Incredibly generous of her to send me a new hat. I hope she gets the other hat back. She said maybe someone working at the place is a knitter. She was so gracious about the mix up on my order.

Now you know I’m proud to have been born in Brooklyn, New York , where I “lived” for about a week in a hospital before I moved across the river to New Jersey where I grew up.

By the way, there are blank hats you can get a custom embroidered message stitched and tote bags and tees, too!

With completed knit blanket for Roy. The colors matched

Patience Test

Untangling some leftover sock yarn a friend sent from all the pairs of socks she knit. There was just a bit of it tangled in a bag. The rest was ready to knit. I’m knitting a scrappy striped sock blanket. Terry has generously shared her sock yarn with me. Treasure!

Garden Party with Erin

Meet Erin who has a professional gardening business. Garden Party With Erin Design. Revive. Restore.

She helped me with my jungle of a garden after the Pandemic. Literally transformed the place.

I know my neighbors were thrilled. Me, too!

I knit her a Read This Hat last year with her business name knit into it.

She popped by today with a surprise gift for me. Check out this hoodie! Love it. How about this photo with the sunshine?

Artist who designed her company logo is ________(awaiting Erin’s response but it’s late tonight)

Problem and Solution

Tiny Sweater Ornament

Sweaters this size don’t take too long to knit up and hang on the tree. Years ago, my friend Joanne gave me a tiny sweater she knit and then she gave me the pattern to knit one myself. You don’t actually knit it using the toothpicks.
