[Nfb-krafters-korner] chemo caps

Would you be willing to organize something like this?  While you are  at 
the table in the exhibit hall you can work on the knitting of it.  Might  you 
find a pattern and possibly print up some copies of the pattern to hand  out?
 
Maybe we can find someone to help you work on this project. Do I have any  
volunteers?

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.
