i can't knit, i just can't do it, i have tried so many times...
beautiful wool in hand, two knitting needles, a nice basket.. even a friend to "teach"me
and as i watch other hands turn the wool into a piece of wonderful...
i find i have turned mine into... a snarl
and on my face i wear... a snarl
i finally quit trying, realising my artistic talent lies on other paths...
really i am surprised it took so long for me to give up,
tho i suppose it shouldn't as i am as stubborn as they come
i kept trying because while trying to knit makes me mad instantly
i love knitted things
mittens
sweaters
scarves
and hats
especially hats...
i love hats ... all hats really... felted hats.... beanies.. caps... antique hats with bits of netting...
but most especially knitted hats ~ with pointy tops
they have always been my favorite
and always hard to find
in fact every pointy hat i have ever had has been made for me by someone dear to my heart
a friend made a pointy hat for my daughter when she was a baby, it was pink and white and blue and had a long point that stood straight up with a pompom on the very tippy top, i loved it, it was whimsical and special and made with love and i still have it in her baby box for her to keep for always.
and another friend crocheted me a pointed cap a few years ago, it is blue and burgundy and tan colored and had only a little point on top (which was perfect for me at the time, when i was not quite ready to make my elfness completely known to the world yet, but wanted to share a glimpse)
today i was blessed with the very most perfect hat for me at this stage of my journey.....
now that i have really come out of the elf closet, tattooing whimsy on my arm and throwing myself into my faerie making, i have discovered that pointy ears and wings aside, nothing says whimsy like a pointed hat!
and this one is all the very most me colors, a earthy feeling wonderfully knitted wool pointy hat, and it came with the very best accompaniment, a matching hat for my pixie bird!
and when we put them on and my son wanted one too... i discovered that my smaller pointed hat is so very perfect for my little goblin man!
so today i want to join my friends in making "the list"
#1 pointy hats and friends who make them...
#2 the kids who wear them...
#3 being comfortable enough with my inner elfness to be able to share it...
Lovely beginning of your list, & that you are diving into the joys of your own life.
ReplyDeleteBefore I knew you were the one to hand over a treasured gift, I thought of you. Truly, I adore this matching pendant~from an intuitive knowing friend.
thankyou Alicia, i had meant it a secret and am so glad that the knowing has not taken away from the blessing.
