OOO…I want to see the hat!

I clicked on the link, which you posted before we became friends. *Great* post, and a true principle. There was a woman at work who was ever so difficult. I couldn’t understand what I had done to get off on the wrong foot with her. So I put her on the prayer roll, and whenever she ticked me off, I prayed for her. And then I learned that she lived with pain, every day of her life, and I was able to no longer take it personally, and by the time she retired, we had a civil relationship that was even occasionally cordial. Prayer and service really do change hearts!

Alison, I do pray you will feel better soon! You are stronger than Crohn!!!

Can’t wait to see the hat!

Hey, we’re both tuned into the hat wavelength this week! I too started a hat (in the post-Christmas-knitting blissful-lack-of-deadlines)… and it doesn’t fit me, a bit too small. But that’s okay, it will fit someone! Into the charity bag with it, and now I’ve got gauge to do one for myself :).

I can’t wait to see the proto-hat that has so much caring and creativity funneled into it.

There’s some weird phenomenon about being sick that makes you thankful. What strange partners. Feel better soon.

Picture toddler me bouncing up and down, trying to peer over something… I wanna’ see!!!

“I find myself marveling that this design all fell into place so easily once I let go of how I was demanding it turn out.”

Thank you, Alison. I have stuff I’ve been muttering about, and this is just what I needed to remember.

Now – where’s the hat? 🙂

I wrestled with a hat just this morning. I think I was trying to show off my cabling skills to my baby brother, when what his head wants is to just be warm. After getting grumpier by the stitch with the cable pattern (and usually I enjoy cabling), I frogged that sucker, looked for another pattern and found a bulky squooshy ear flap hat I think he’ll love wearing.:-}

Give that Mr Crohn the boot. You have my permission.
And yes we want to see the hat!!

It’s definitely time for the crohns flair to say goodbye and bow out. In the meantime, I hope you’re enjoying being able to see your daughter, son-in-law, and the cats keeping them busy.
