This was a tricky topic for me to respond to. I am by my own admission a selfish knitter and I’d say 90% of my projects are knit for me. I’ve knit a few baby things for friends and family, socks for my husband and socks for my mum but I know what has become of them, my husband and my mum both wear their knit gifts frequently and the babies, well they will have grown out of what I knit them now so I suppose I don’t know where their knits have gone on to but I don’t really think about it. I have knit two scarves for my mother in law including a very time consuming lace scarf, I’ve never seen her wear that one and I saw her wear the other once. I know they’re snuggled up in the top of her wardrobe. I didn't really want to write about something I knit for myself so I had a little think.
The one thing I did knit and have no idea where it is my Innocent Smoothie hats. I hope someone did buy the smoothies with my hats on them and that they made someone smile because knitting them and lining up all the teeny tiny hats certainly made me smile, as did going through all my sock leftovers and remembering knitting the socks whist I made the hats. I really need to start making some more for this year’s campaign.
