Today I'm particularly thankful for our wonderful friends, Hadley and Diane, who are hosting us for Thanksgiving. Diane saw me making a Japanese Chulla out of Noro Iro yarn a few months ago and she loved it. This is a pattern I got for free at Rosie's Yarn Cellar in Philadelphia and I have absolutely fallen in love with it. Whenever I see Iro on sale somewhere, I buy some because I never get tired of making this hat. I had two more skeins left in my stash and they only take about four hours each, so I knocked those out this week.
I was trying to decide who to give the first one to and my husband asked if he could have it. Note: he has never asked me to make him anything and has never expressed an interest in anything knitted, so I was happy to give it to him. The second was specifically made for Diane. I know she's probably spending twice as much time cooking our feast as I spent on the hat, so it's just a small "thank you" for her hospitality and willingness to let Jose and I disrupt her family meal.
