Doris had asked me to make her a hat back in spring, we have talked about it off and on until a couple of weeks ago she finally gave me the patterns she printed out from Ravelry. I settled on this cable slouch hat and this did not take long at all to make. It only took me an evening or so and I love the feel of the finished product.
I bought some cascade yarn from the shop, but then the more I looked at it the more I was not happy with my color choice. I love the light gray, but since she had requested something in darker color I knew it was not the right choice. Good thing I found the exact shade she wanted in Bernat Satin. I had used this yarn before for making toys and blankets but never as an accessory, I hope this yarn holds up well has a hat.
She was very excited when I sent her the picture of the finished hat. Doris just lost her beloved mom about a month ago, and I hope that this gesture might some how warm her heart a little. It is such a tough time for her, especially Christmas is coming right around the corner.
I know what it means when someone stop long enough to show care. That is the least I can do for her.
