Whatever happened to your __________?
Write about the fate of a past knitting project. Whether it be something that you crocheted or knitted for yourself or to give to another person. An item that lives with you or something which you sent off to charity.

I am a selfish knitter.  I rarely knit for other people.  I almost never agree to a “Can you knit me a ______?” request.  Last year, I did agree to one of those requests.

I knit two Odessa hats for a little girl with acute myeloid leukemia.  I heard from the friend who requested the hats that they were well-received.

I Googled and found this.  I hope she never has to wear these hats again.

    I’m a selfish knittertoo, but like you, I will knit for a special reason. And I think yours was pretty special. Beautiful hats.

    The hats are lovely. I hope the little girl doesn’t have to wear them again too.
