Sometimes, its the little things that make it all worthwhile. Saturday evening, my daughter had a dance at school. After she decided to wear a little black dress, she wanted something to dress it up a bit. I suggested some bright jewelry, a scarf or maybe...a shawl! :) She thought it was a great idea & ended up wearing it draped over her shoulder & pinned at her hip. She got tons of compliments on it, which made both of us feel good! Although it didn't stay on too long at the dance, just the fact that she took it & wore it was such a thrill! Totally made my day!
Also, my knitting therapy worked wonders! The sweater & I had some meaningful time together. I popped in a movie, parked my butt on the recliner & knitted my heart out. Nothing like a little 'self help'!
(I tried to post this several times over the past few days, but it kept kicking me out of the journal...argh!)

It is always a wonderful feeling when someone likes and wears the knitted garment you made! It makes all that time and effort worthwhile -- and what a feeling of pride! I bet your daughter looked gorgeous in it! By the way, I have been trying all day to post an entry in my journal, but AOL journals doesn't seem to like me either! lol!
