Another Year & Two Hats Later...

Happy New Year to all!  My new year's day was spent in front of the tube watching the Twilight Zone marathon on SciFi channel & knitting!  A veggie sort of day, but watching the TV is conducive to my knitting!  So I made two more chemo hats.  Both are regular roll brim hats, one is a helix spiral hat, so I can use up more scraps.  No, I haven't picked up my WIP sweater...but I'm thinking about it!  That's the best I can do right now! 

I like making the chemo hats cause they are quick & mindless knitting.  I usually make adult sizes & take them to the local cancer center when I have a dozen or so.  I've dropped off about 50 hats so far, I think. 

I had so much fun doing the kids hats that I may make more of those & take them to the local children's hospital.  Or there are quite a few websites that take hat donations for children, so I have a lot of choices.  Its a great feeling, keeps me busy, uses up my scrap yarn & helps folks who need them all at the same time!

Hello and Happy New Year!! I really like your idea about the chemo caps. Where did you get the patterns for them? Sounds like a really worthwhile project!
