My charming neighbour, Alberto, truly tugs at my heartstrings! One day, a gentle knock on my door revealed him standing there, wearing a slightly forlorn expression. His beloved hat — imbued with a sentimental value from his move all the way from Colombia to Canada — had met an unfortunate fate. It got snagged and torn, leaving Alberto in need of a hat-rescue mission.

Alberto, being the conversational dynamo he is, often engages in lively hat discussions with Curt. So, when faced with finding a new hat, he naturally thought of me as the go-to person for such a quest.

Eager to rise to the occasion, I handed Alberto the creative reins, letting him choose the colourway for his upcoming headgear masterpiece. Without a moment’s hesitation, I embarked on the journey of designing and crafting a new hat for him. The goal? To ensure that Alberto doesn’t endure too many chilly moments without a cosy, warm, and freshly hand-knit hat to call his own. It’s not just about functionality; it’s about weaving a story of warmth and style, stitch by stitch!
