A friend challenged me with an idea she’d seen on the web – crocheted hats that look like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I debated on whether or not to even blog about this, but I have to so I never forget – EVER.

It will be a LONG time before I crochet a hat again. But I’m VERY happy that the gal who ordered these was content, and obviously this guy loves the turtles, man.

Price collected for creating two hats? Yep, two boxes of Blush house wine, which is actually our favorite!

It’s funny how sometimes I think of projects I’ve done, and know exactly what was on TV or what was happening in the house when it was getting worked on. Well, last night will be no different when it comes to having a memory while knitting.

After spending the afternoon downstairs, ironing and knitting, Bill calls down to me and says “Father of the Bride” is on. He wanted me to come upstairs and watch it with him. OK, no problem, I adore that old movie. He, on the other hand, had never seen it. So game on, or once the old gal had one up on him as I’ve seen it a gazillion times.

He could understand every line and emotion Spencer Tracy was going through – even the nightmare of him trying to walk his daughter down the aisle. With all the conversation we enjoyed as we both sat at the dining room table discussing this movie, I will never forget what item I was working on:
