things?

Yes there is a crochet pattern on the website.  I am trying to find out if
there is a loom knit version out there.

Beckie;
Do I hear a class in the works here? Lol.
I'll bet that the men in the group will sign up for this class in a
heartbeat. Lol.

Becky, et al.

I learned about these on a podcast in the last few weeks. It is a great way
to use up your left-over yarn (that fits the specifics for yarn) and any
scraps of yarn can be used as filling. In the podcast, they were
specifically talking to the lady that started the Canadian version. They are
provided to women that have had mastectomies and are lighter and more
comfortable than the medical prosthetics, plus they are machine washable. I
believe they started in the USA and there are local "chapters" across the
country.

I am personally going to do some research on the specifics and may make this
my charity for 2016 (I'm waiting to see what KK is going to do with prayer
shawls as that is something I am passionate about doing and would like to
reach out to more people than those I know personally).
