Baby's New Hat........

My daughter sent me this: a fan asked singer Matt Morris "what value do you find in making handcrafted items like knit hats?" and he answered "peace comes to those who, with steady hand and slow breath, make beauty from yarn".
I thought that was just a very lovely quote and wanted to share it with all of you that knit.  And for those who don't, maybe you should try it.
What could add more beauty into your life than this?  It is a double whammy, beauty from the yarn and beauty from that face.  She is such a ham.
 The hat was made from yarn by Queensland and the pattern
  used was "North Porch Hat, Jr. by Kim Wagner available here http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/north-porch-hat-jr  It was a very fun knit.  I had already made another hat and mittens from the pink so I added the brown stripe.  It worked out quite well.  She seems to like it.

Wonderful quote by MM.
...I agree two-fold (peace also comes to those that make the yarn!)
