Beanies for All

2/4/2015

The story begins like this: You make something handmade for someone. And they truly love it. Wear it everyday. Isn't that the BEST feeling?? What more can a knitter/crocheter ask for? 

Well, I recently had that happen to me. My nephew (age 19) asked for a beanie for Christmas. Of course I was thrilled to oblige. I mean, that is like the easiest handmade gift ever! Low cost in yarn and not a ton of time involved. Win Win. 

Needless to say... he LOVES it and indeed has been wearing it everyday. At least as far as I know since I am in another state! 

So what happens next? OH YEAH... now everyone that has seen the beanie wants the beanie. YEP. Now it's all about turning out that next beanie! How did a one-off Christmas present turn me into an assembly line? 

Of course it's for people I know and love so it's ok. But I am now on my sixth and am vowing that this is the end of it!  

This little lovely will be going to my brother-in-law (aforementioned nephew's dad).

So tell me - Do you have a great story of having to mass produce some lovely that you made? Put your story in the comments section!
