What a sweet thing to do!

Knit hats aren't too expensive to buy at the store, for people like me who can't knit, to donate but it must be extra nice to receive a handmade, lovingly crafted hat on a cold night.

Made hats for everyone I knew for Christmas a few years ago, but my joints hurt so much now that I've quit knitting entirely. Otherwise, I would gladly help her.
