Chemo Cap


Chemo Cap
Originally uploaded by fitknit
After yesterday's outburst, I decided I really would try to blog more often. So here goes.

It is Remembrance Month over at Knit 4 Charities and I'm on the chemo caps. It is three months tomorrow since Teresa passed away yet feels like the blink of an eye.

To honour her courage, strength and life, I'm going to try and make a cap for every year she was here. That's 26. I've made 2 so far. This one is my own pattern. It is acrylic and we all know how much I would prefer to run a marathon rather than use this yarn, but it's not about me!

Guess I'd better go and knit now. Hopefully I'll be back soon :)

And very pretty it is too! Good luck with your target of 26 chemo caps.

I think this is one of the prettiest Chemo caps I've seen. It would make you feel feminine at a time I can only imagine, you'd feel furtherest from it. Goodluck with the 26. :)

Hi it's me! (you know... me the chicken woman!)
Happy to see that you have updated the blog (as instructed!) this reminds me I have about 15 chemo/homeless caps for you - will bring them along Monday at pick-up. Meanwhile I need help naming my new chooks - any ideas? LOL
