the other day i was on the train and accidentally lost my hat. usually i take my hat off when i get on the train because its too darn warm and i put my hat in my backpack. on this particular day i was waayyyy too tired to do so. at some point i dropped my hat never to be seen again.
the thing that gets me is that whenever i notice that someone has dropped something on the train i tell them. in my case, no one did. perhaps no one noticed, perhaps someone noticed. ill never know. all i do know is that i lost my beloved crocheted hat that i made with my very own hands.
luckily i still had some red and white yarn sitting around, and whipped up a near identical hat.
why am i so upset? ill tell you why im so upset. i lost a hat i created and i wonder where it has gone. is someone else wearing it? did someone throw it out? did it totally get trampled? so many unanswered questions.
alas, i am glad i was able to crochet another red and white hat, but i really dug the old one and wish it was still in my possession!

You...crocheted a hat? In a few minutes? If you could make a new one so fast what difference does losing one make? : P
As it happens I actually lost one of my glasses temples a few hours ago in Manhattan and have desperately been searching the streets for it...but no luck!
it took me a few subway rides to work to crochet my hat. but this is not the point. i could have been crocheting a totally different hat had i not lost the first one. just because something is replaceable doesnt mean i want to have to replace it.
Hi FrumFemale,
My name is Leah and I'm writing to you from the Jewish Women's Archive (http://jwa.org). We love what you had to say about Making Trouble and would like to quote you in our promotional materials for the film. If you could email me at editor@jwa.org, that would be wonderful!
Thank you so much,
Leah Berkenwald
You made that?! Nice!
Ever thought of selling them online?
You can advertise on trunkt.com for free, up to 9 products I think.
moshe-
i have to look into that. ive never sold any of my hats. i have given them as gifts, though.
Seriously, do it. Besides trunkt, there are several other sites that help artists sell handcrafted stuff. And there's always ebay too.

Here's a good site, www.etsy.com. They're very beginner friendly and charge very little for posting your items. Unlike ebay, your item stays up for 4 months.
Post an item, even if you're not serious, just to see the response. You never know, and this could be a very good way to make money.
Also, I'd recommend trunkt if you got at least 3 items, even different colors is ok.
