KNITSTER

Do you remember when, not too long ago, I posted a few finished things, which included Oceandirt’s Mittens? (Her mittens are the very first photo in the post.) Well, I finally got my buttocks into gear, and finally mailed them to her. While she lives relatively closeby (maybe a half hour away), my schedule has been such that I haven’t had time to get together with her, and while we talk via email and blogs all the time, I just hadn’t gotten them to her. Being that her birthday was this past Sunday, and the weather has gotten bitter again, I felt I had to make sure she got them. And sure enough, even though I just mailed them yesterday, she got them today! And she loved them! She said she liked the color a lot, and they fit perfectly. (As I mentioned, she has asymmetrical hands, so having custom mittens were hugely craved for her!) She was very happy with them, and she even made sure to ask how to take care of them, so she didn’t over felt them or something like that. She must really treasure them!

I think after having a someone not so great day, to get a phone call to let me know that she had gotten them and how much she loved them really made MY day. It feels really good when something that you made with lots of love in every stitch, and went to special lengths to get the right yarn, the right colors, and get the pattern right…well, gets appreciated. Yay.

I also sent out the baby hoodie and the matching socks I made as well yesterday. That was going to Richmond, some 300 miles away, so I suppose that one will take another day or so to get down there. I figured I had to get it down there before the baby outgrew it! LOL Hopefully they’ll like it too.
