Seriously! And what is it that you and the Yarn Harlot have against yaks? I'm certain yak spit would be very useful in the right hands; not mine, but I'm just sayin'... Give the noble yak a break already, will ya? After all that, you tease us with only one photo? Seriously!

She's REALLY good at spotting knitters in the Scarby crowd and flagging them down. I have to run by and say hi to her every time I go out! And also to bug her into getting a Ravelry account, last I checked she was procrastinating on it, heh. So if you come back up here, pester her into signing up if she hasn't already! It was really sweet of you to gift your remaining needle to the pastry lady! It is too bad you lost one but on the other hand it's always a nice feeling to do the gifty thing.

Nicer than I would be anyway--I have quite the collection of single needles that are now waiting to be stitch holders. I seem to always be needing to hold stitches while I figure out what comes next.

I am sorry you lost one, but glad you were able to salvage the day! Are there pics of the scarf forthcoming? What a great way to make lemonade - by giving the needle as a gift.

I work in hospice and we try to help many of our patient reframe what is/has happened in their lives. Illness and dying are not often seen as gifts, but some people are able to see them as such; a life altering event can make one see each day and personal interaction differently even when one knows days are fewer than hoped for or expected. If you will pardon the comparison, you were able to make a silk purse (gift) from a sow's ear (loss), despite the common opinion that it is not possible to do so. Carry on!
