Dear Owner Of A Star Crossed Slouchy Beret,
You know I love you very much. I even really like your boyfriend. That is the reason I made both of you hats. I hoped that, even though there were many miles between us, I could keep you warm during the relatively cold Florida winter and you'd be styling too. Did I ask for monetary remuneration? No. Did I ask for you to name your first born daughter after me? No. (Although that may happen if I ever make you a sweater) All I ask for is a photo of you and O together so I can post it on my blog for the pleasure of myself and my three readers. Hi Megan, Annie and Glenn!
Remember this?
That's right. It's her. The Gretel Hat. When I told you I was knitting, she was the first hat you fell in love with and asked me to make. I told you it had to wait because I didn't know how to make cables. So you patiently waited until I gained the skills to make this beautiful hat. I had actually begun this hat when I realized I had never received the paltry sum I had asked for the two other hats. So here's the dealio. Either I get the photos via email in the next week or the hat gets it. That's right. I'll be a frogging fool and all that will be left of your hat will be a lil pile of soft, scrumptious yarn on the floor of my bedroom. I will be sad to see her go but I must demand payment for my creative endeavors. I'll be checking my email hourly and if I dont' receive a photo within a week, I will be sending you a photo of a pile of Pastaza yarn and a bill for the hats I made you.

hilarious :)
I want to learn cables so I can make a hat just like that!
Now wait a stitch-pickin' minute. That poor hat never did nuthin' to nobody, You should just keep it for yourself if the ransom is not paid!
I'll take pictures of anything you want if you give Gretel to me instead! Boobs? You got it! Feet? Sure thing!
Think how jealous she would be seeing someone else wearing Gretel (and how cute I would be modeling it ;-)). Mwah.
Step off ladies... Don't come between a girl and her Gretel! =)
