Well sure, I’m more than a
little embarrassed about this one…here goes. My mother gave me the book
Knitting for Peace for my birthday in 2007 (so the inscription says). I had
expressed a desire to make a hat for Caps For Kids, a deserving organization that
sends hats to underprivileged children. There was a darling if
somewhat challenging cap that I wanted to make BUT once again I got busy and
the book got displaced a few times until it got packed away and forgotten. Finally
unearthed last week I was again reminded of the wonderful work this committed group does for disadvantaged children. I
pulled out a skein of soft, washable wool from my stash and went to work. Here it
is!! BUT HERE IS THE RUB. I HATE, HATE, HAT THE YARN AND THE HAT! (Sigh) Never the less
I will pack it up and send it off to Caps For Kids. I ask you loyal readers, does it make me a bad person to send an ugly hat to
charity? 
I asked my mom and she said NO
IT DOES NOT and reminded me that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Thanks
MOM
PEACE!

Jacqueline, I think that the hat is so cute and any child would be happy to wear the hat. You made the hat for a good cause. Julie
I LOVE the hat! And I just know there is a child out there that will love it too! Hoorah for you for finishing it!
Thanks so much, just not what I expected I guess. I'm still sifting through the unfinished stuff though.
I LOVE that hat. I think it's adorable especially for a little kid. You're so wonderful <3
