Dear Apiyo,
Thank you very much for the handmade hat! I live in the Midwest (Kansas), where winters can be very rough. While we haven't had much snow here this year, the wind and temperatures have been pretty brisk. I wear the hat you made almost daily, and get many compliments. As you mentioned in your bio about Uganda being favorable for farming, Kansas too is known for nice farming conditions (we are known for the production of corn, wheat, and beans). Coming from another student, I wish you the best regards in completing your education!

Thanks again,

Hi Apiyo,

Thank you so much for making such a beautiful beaniie, I bought mine at a store in Berkeley, California . I started wearing beanies after I had cancer treatments and my hair got pretty thin on top. I have a nice collection now and was happy to find the one that you made. It's light enough that I can wear it during the Bay Area summer!?
