...actually, I have no idea if there already is such a holiday...but I am proclaiming that yesterday was "International Treat Your Starbucks Barista To A Really Nice Gift Day"! Every time Miss-A and I walk over to the Starbucks near the library (which would be daily), the baristas comment on our lovely hand knit and felted coffee cup cozies. (You may recall the insane knit-one-for-every-coworker jag I went on last Christmas...that lasted till MLK Jr. Day?)
One barista in particular, Bubbly, has gone beyond commenting to coveting.
So, I asked her what her favorite color was.
She didn't have one, she apparently loves ALL colors.
I asked what type of colors she preferred...jewel tones, brights, rainbows, autumn.
She answered yes.
So, I just found some colorful Noro that was sitting in my coffee cup cozy scrap wool bag and knit her up a cozy.
...she offered to pay for it...but I said this first one was on me...
...she said I made her day.
In the end, isn't that what knitting is all about? Spreading warmth and joy to the masses?
