Maybe his wife is suspicious and he HAS to give her the hat because she wants to know who the HELL is knitting him hats. Give it to him with a smile because the collective unconscious in us all needs the gift of “giving anyway” without preconceptions, intentions or second guessing. Also, include a note with the hat for the wife THANKING her for sharing her husband, the wonderful coach who people appreciate so much they make hats to keep their heads warm. :)

So, I’m an overthinker, too, and here’s what I overthought: Maybe he mentioned his wife because he thinks you knitted him a hat because you’re in love with him. Maybe it was his delicate way of letting you know that he’s off the market. So now you HAVE to give him the hat for his wife, so that he knows you knit for people you don’t also want to sleep with. You know. I’m probably totally wrong, but you can’t NOT give him the hat. Or else it’ll be all awkward when you take Meredith to school.

Oh, no! I have so often kept a present back from the second-guessing. I don’t think I’ve ever regretted giving something, but I have regretted NOT giving something (as it sits in my car, or on my dresser, or by the front door, mocking me). There can’t be any lasting harm to this right?*

*(Unless he starts getting fearful that he has a hat-knitting stalker–heh, heh. See how this happens?)

I know Sarah claimed it first, but the hat should definitely go to me. I love a lavendar rinse, I bet it is gorgeous!

It’s going to be minus 3000 in Denver on Thursday. If you overnight it to me, I’ll get it just in time.

(Give her the hat, silly)

That hat is seven flavors of awesome. (I mean, Brooklyn Tweed- c’mon!) Give him the hat.
ALSO – that whole wife thing seems pretty elaborate to me to not be real. I”m with the PP who said that guys don’t worry about that stuff – they just don’t wear the hat, and they definitely don’t make up cover stories if they don’t like the hat.

I’m winding lace weight and wondering about buying a ball winder. do you have one? (You are one of my knitting inspirations, so . . .)

This is the exact way in which I torture myself. I say give him the hat, and then teach me how to be a fancy knitter.
