handmade

I am the most fortunate and grateful recipient of these beautiful mittens.  They are made of the softest, dyed in my favorite color (note the unintentionally matching shirt) wool, by the hands of my sweet friend.  I love them, everything about them.  They are warm and soft and smell like lambs from heaven.  I look at each stitch and think about the hands that held the yarn, the fingers around which it was wrapped, the thoughts and bits of conversation, secrets and daydreams that have been knitted within -- and especially, I love that there is little girl out there with beautiful red curls who wears a skirt that matches them.  Thanks so much Amy!
