When Baby Chuck was born, the nurses put a blue and white knitted hat on him. (Seen here.) Every baby born at our hospital receives one of these hand knit lovelies. They're all donated by a group of kind and talented elderly ladies.
Last week we visited a craft fair and found ourselves drawn to a display of colorful knitted hats. The elderly lady behind the display was particularly keen to talk to us when she saw Baby Chuck snoozing in his carrier. After a couple minutes of chatting, we found out that she was one of the ladies who knitted the hats! I was so pleased to meet her that I asked for her photograph.
I love that blue and white hat. I love that these women cared enough to make and donate hats. And I'm so happy that we got a chance to meet her and say "thank you."
