Ski Hat

This is a ski hat I knit for a friend of my sister's using the same yellow ski hat pattern, just different colors. I do have several more hat patterns done, and one I am working on, which I will be adding later.

These are free patterns, and I hope you use them for the Hat Charity in Maine that I have told you about. Life is hard enough with out being  hungry, homeless and cold too.

The Black Box

She told the counselor about her dad pulling her hair, about him calling her names, telling her to get out; she showed him the marks that her dad left on her when he would punch her.  I was there when she told the counselor about all of it. She kept a dairy of it all, I told her to give it to the courts.   It was kept with all our court paperwork.  The marriage counselor said the courts ordered her to see her dad. He lied; I have the copies of the paper work. The counselor told her to go live with her dad.  Justice is only for those who buy it.
