I have to admit, my first batches of chemo hats weren't the most colorful. I used more subdued colors, & the combinations were subtle. Although I personally love bright colors, that doesn't mean I want to wear them. So the hats were done with that reasoning.
However, after making the children's hats, & having SO MUCH fun with the color combinations & trim additions, I've decided to be a little more adventurous with color for the adult hats this time. Some of the donation websites suggest making them brighter & more colorful as well, because it makes the wearer feel happier. I'm all for that!
I'm also enjoying the pre-knitting phase more. Choosing all these fun colors makes the whole process more exciting! I've babbled before about how much white & off white leftovers I have. I've been trying to incorporate these more in some of my latest creations. This is making some of the hats very bright & cheerful. I'm hoping they will be as well received as the previous batches. If not, I'm sure the local children's hospital would love to have them as well.
I've done a few more of the sport weight hats, also. I don't as much of that as I do the worsted wts, but they make a nice hat. So nice, I may have to make one or two for me & the family! :)

I'm the same way; I enjoy the pre-knitting phase. I love picking out yarn, and planning the project. :)
