you will part with the perfect hat because it was knitted for them, not you.
this is kylie
She is my best friend here in London. we work together and have lots of fun and totally get each other.
One day Kylie came with me to Loop (even though she’s not a knitter – see, told you she was a good friend) and showed serious interest in a pair of mitts in my favourite teal.
I offered a pair as a belated birthday present.
finally got my hands on some mad tosh in a colour i thought she’d like… but she saw me wearing this hat and decide she wanted a beret instead.
I offered Kylie some patterns (she chose Meret) and 2 days later i had finished what is possibly my favourite hat i’ve ever knitted. I’m completely in love with it.
But i love Kylie more.
