Laura’s Hat…A Love Story.

As I said in my last post, since Laura knew she wouldn’t be able to finish her hat, she asked me if I could finish it for her and that I could keep it. Even though I wasn’t at all sure I could do it justice, I was happy that I’d have something to wear that Laura’s hands had knit. The other challenge was that every knitter knits with different gauge; some are tight knitters, others, loose knitters, and every variation in between…so in order to have the hat look right, I’d have to try and match Laura’s gauge…not an easy task.

365 Days 2023, Saying Aloha ʻOe…

February 11th

My friend Laura started on hospice several days ago and asked me to come over so that she could give me a loom to give to a friend of mine who would like to have it. Laura’s appetite wasn’t very good, and I made her some chicken soup and went over there today. It was so good to see her…her health had gone downhill very quickly, and I knew this would probably be the last time we’d see each other.

I apologize for the delay in all my posts…yet another friend of mine died last month and I was involved with helping however I could during her last few weeks. She and I shared a love for spinning and knitting, and her death has brought up all my other grief stuffs. It’s been a really hard month. I’m going to try catch up as quick as I can…
