last Christmas

My grandson, who was 8, needed a winter hat, so I told my daughter I would make him one, which I did, and then I made a scarf to match.

Well, you know how kids are about clothing...they'd rather have the toys, so I didn't expect much.

But my daughter told me when he opened the package I sent and she told him that I had made them, he couldn't believe it...

"Nanny made these? For ME?"

Apparently he loved them.

I get all weepy still, just thinking about it.




PS...just wanted to mention that I've made other things for the grandkids, like sock monkeys (from the sockmonkey socks) and crocheted afghans. I guess to my grandson, those are way different from something he could actually wear.
