Iconic Times Two
Back in January, my sister (you can actually see her reflected in the mirror in the picture above) asked if I would knit a hat for her to bring when she visited her friends in New York. Their son, Morgan (that's him and his wife) was having chemo. Again. Well, yes, I would make a hat. It needed to be a quick knit, because there wasn't much time before she left. And I knew from experience that it needed to be soft, and since it was going to New York in the winter, warm.
So, I went yarn shopping for something bulky and soft. After checking out my two local yarn stores, I went online. At Tolt Yarn Yarn and Wool, I found Woolfolk's Hygge yarn. Wool, alpaca, and silk, and superbulky. And there were "good" colors. I should add that at this point I began digressing from Marilyn's original request, that the hat be in the colors of one of Morgan's favorite hockey teams. I think this blue might, in a pinch, be kind of okay for one of the teams.
