March 2007

Making the preemie caps hooked me on the relaxing, meditative uses of crocheting for charity. In looking around for another place that needed crocheted items, I discovered that a Wellness Community was opening nearby, providing a variety of non-medical services to cancer patients and their caregivers. An e-mail note asking if they were interested in chemo caps solicited a quick and enthusiastic response. So I found some fun patterns on the Internet and began taking batches of caps to them. By my second visit, they had acquired a rack and were displaying my caps for their participants to choose. Each cap has a tag with care instructions on one side and a message from me on the other.
