Thank you for this beautiful post Sylvia! I'm so glad to hear that your beloved is recovering well and at home, and it was a delight to spend time with you in the shop and engage in some very rewarding problem solving in good company! 💗 The hat turned out great - please come back soon!
Thank you, Betsy! I will sure to be back . . . Halcyon is my normal go-to for knitting things. There's a good chance I will be bringing my knitting problems with me . . . !!! (NOT the world's best knitter!) Right now I still have quite a stash of red yarn I ordered from Halcyon once red yarn was back in stock. There's a group at my church that is still working on those hats -- or, more specifically, the lapel pins modeled after the hats. I hope to join them when I can. Even more (and fervently!) I hope for the day to come when we won't feel so compelled to knit and wear those hats because our work related to them will be accomplished!
(My beloved is getting stronger each day. Thank you for your kindness.)
I would never have known the hat was made inside out if you hadn’t pointed it out. I’m honored to have such a special tribute to your growing knitting prowess! Thank you. BYW, we makers of things seem more likely to point out our creations’ flaws than most people would even notice if nothing was said. Is that a function of humility, or self confidence?
Thank you for your blog, Sylvia. You always have a message worth reading.
Well, here is the thing about knitting a hat inside out. When it's finished, you just turn it right-side-to and it is fine! As to the question of humility or self-confidence, I am not sure. It probably depends on the person and the project. In the case of the hat, I wanted to lift up the kindness of a local store and also the value of having a sense of humor about things ... and that required self-deprecation on my part ... so, maybe a bit of both? Humility and low self-confidence? Good question.
It has certainly been a rough winter in many respects. Hoping for a healing spring for the entire world, in fact. Nice to see you back! Fondly, Helen
Yes, to the healing spring! Let's hope. Meanwhile, I'm glad to be back. Thanks!
We are happy that you and your dear ones are home and safe and snug.
Many Hugs.
Thanks, Maryli. We are happy and grateful, too!

Thanks so much Mike!
Sending love and hope for continued healing. See you when we get back to Maine in early May.
Thanks for your note. I look forward to your return! Healing is continuing here. Things are so much better with each passing day.
So happy you’re back and your family is doing well. I was worried by your absence. Sending positive energy and healing thoughts. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, Sheila. Things are getting better each day here, so that's one good thing all by itself!
