i knit A LOT since i'm now retired, different kinds of things too. i was so happy to have a granddaughter after having four sons, but my son and his wife have specifically told me that they don't want any of my handmade items. it's not "their style", they say. i'm no slouch in the knitting department either. my son told me that the things i made "fell apart". this is after i told them to hand wash the items. i'm sure they just threw them in the machine.

so phooey on them, they'll get no more from me. my youngest son does like my hats, so i'll continue to make some for him, but the others just don't appreciate my time and effort.

i have a huge bin full of finished items, which i'll probably end up donating or putting up on etsy.
