Lilly,
I LOVE the beautiful salmon colored “Betty” hat that you made and I was able to find here in California. So many people have asked me about it. I am just learning how to knit and recently just finished my first hat for my daughter…but it definitely does not look as good as the ones you make! It is so soft, and it makes me feel happy every time I wear it. Thank you and I will think of you when I put it on.
I love my hat! All my friends love it too. It’s so cute! I once tried to make a hat, but ended up making a fuzzy potato sack. Your work is beautiful. Thank you so much
Hi Aloyo Lilly

I just got my hat in the mail today, all day I’ve been bragging about why my new hat is cooler than everyone else’s. Thanks not only to you for making such a great hat for me, but thanks also to kki for providing a trade, a way to pass time, and a source of income for these ladies and their families. Keep up the good work!
