red flower

For Yan

Perhaps a bit too girly for my normal taste, but just perfect for my Asian friend Yan. The hat is a simple white pattern with pink trim, and the flower is from the Stitch-and-Bitch Nation book and throws in some nice color. I will always remember the first thing Yan asked me when we meet, which was if I had any brothers or sisters, and when I said that I did she asked me what it was like. She grew up in the age in China when more than once child was illegal, and was fasinated with my stories about my little brother. Internatinal diversity does have a way of changing your perspectives.
