While home this summer, I was going through the attic looking for Christmas ornaments from my childhood. While going though many boxes I discovered all of my mothers yarn that she had collect over the years. I emailed a friend who makes hats for chemo patients to see if she would like any of the yarn and I would mail it to her. However, I never heard back from her before I left to come back to Georgia. On the way home from Ohio to Georgia, I decided that I would teach myself to knit and crochet and begin to make hats for those who were undergoing chemotherapy and use my mothers yarn. I have only been at it since August 2011 and have already made 75 hats for those undergoing treatment. I know how isolated and tired and at times hopeless a cancer patient can feel. I believe that this is just a small gesture that I can do to encourage those who are undergoing cancer treatment to not give up. There are many people out there praying for them and wishing them a safe recovery. I know that my mother could have used a reminder that someone was thinking about her and praying for her recovery. So in her honor and memory I am passing along these well wishes on her behalf~
Each hat is $10.00. When a hat is purchased, another hat is made to be donated to a local cancer center to those who are undergoing Chemotherapy. The cost of the hat covers both skeins of yarn and shipping.
I can make hats for adults, toddlers and babies. Please specify which size you would like~
If there is a specific person you would like a hat donated to you can let me know, if not the donated hat will go to a local Cancer Center.
