The other powerful side of crocheting I just discovered (I know, I know, I mean, wasn´t that one of the reasons I started making things- for others!- in the first place?) is, that it can put a smile on a beloved person.

A friend that is having a really hard time and wanted to get a hat but wanted to wait until next winter- definitely needs something to keep her warm and safe. I don´t know what it is with hats but they make me feel safe. I got really addicted after having made and worn my first one. I can´t do without one anymore. And I don´t WANT to do without want anymore. Sometime I even sleep with my hat on. If I don´t know how to help, or if it seems as if I can´t help- usually a hat can do the trick!

A hat is also a really useful item for someone going through Chemotherapie, which was another hat I made recently. Cancer sucks. And not being able to help sucks a lot, too. But making a hat and knowing that it might be at least a little tiny bit of help and might keep the spirit up is wonderful!
