Aye, Jacqueline!

For Christmas, my sister gave me one of the hats you made. It is honestly the best beanie I have ever received, which is saying a lot since I consider myself an extreme hat lover. It's so warm and comfortable. It is the most well made hat out of the many I have in my hat collection, which is frighteningly large. I am actually in awe of how good it feels and how beautiful it is. It must have taken quite a long time to create this. It is truly awesome. I plan on purchasing another one of these hats. I live in the Midwest of the US so the hat's keeping me quite warm. Keep doing what you do and I hope that you achieve your goals for you and your family in the future. Thank you for making it! :)

Hi Jacqui! Thank you so much for creating the beautiful hat. It is simply stunning! I am giving it to my dad for his birthday next week and I know he is going to love it. We live in the North East and the winters here get very cold so I am sure he will enjoy the extra warmth your hat will provide. I think it's so fantastic that you work with Krochet Kids and that you are working towards fulfilling your dreams and supporting your family. I wish nothing but the best for you and your loved ones. Urpichai, Soncochai!
