[Nfb-krafters-korner] chemo caps

[Denise Shaible]

How difficult is it to make a kemo cap?  If the project isn't too difficult 
and can be done in a short amount of time, maybe it would be good for a knit 
together or a charitable gift from the Krafter's Division.  I think a kemo 
cap would be a great gift for children who have diseases or cancer 
treatments and are waiting for hairpieces from Locks of Love.  there may be 
other charitable organizations as well.  Locks of Love is just an idea that 
I got because I'm considering making a hair donation.

Could we maybe make a kemo cap for a project at our meeting at the National 
Convention?  All we would need is to bring needles and yarn to the 
Convention so we're ready.  then once we make one, we could discuss what to 
do with it.  Okay, I guess when I get on a roll, I rock 'n roll.  What do 
y'all think?

Regards,

Denise

I was in a chemo hat drive and was provided with the yarn donated by a
local yarn shop.  I don't remember the name of the yarn, but it was a very
soft cotton yarn.

Sorry I could not be much better with suggestion of yarn.

Hi  everyone,

A friend of mine just sent out a plea to her crafty friends  for chemo caps
for a woman fighting breast cancer. I was immediately  excited about being
able to contribute a few hats, so I went home and got  to work knitting one.

But I have a question for you all.

Have  any of you needed chemo caps? I know lots of people make things  for
charity, but I'm wanting a better perspective. I don't want to  make
something just because it's simple, I want it to be really good and I  want
it to be something the person will actually love wearing. But I've  never
worn a cap against my bare head (except as an infant and I can't  remember
that far back, smile). I'm wondering if you have a favorite yarn  you found
especially comfortable or a favorite knitting pattern you found  made an
especially flattering and comfy hat.

Thanks in advance for  your comments.
