This is Schnapps’ latest hat pattern. He did a pattern with 3 variations
recently too that we might share as well.
He’s been busy!

| He didn't rest until it was finished! |

| Three variations of one pattern. |
We have several close, personal friends who are fighting
cancer right now and ask that you keep Judi, Jennifer, Rich and George in your
thoughts along with all the others who are battling too. This is an evil disease that needs a
cure and we hope that one is found soon.
Lately several people seem to have forgotten that we give
our patterns freely, but they are OUR patterns. Truly, I do not appreciate getting emails and messages
telling me that you don’t approve of the name I chose for a hat or telling me
how I should be handling things.
If you don’t like the name, don’t knit the hat. If you think you could better run an organization,
please start one. There is a HUGE
need for chemo caps throughout the world.
Take some initiative and make a difference. But, please keep your negative opinions to yourself. I devote hours and hours every week to
these two charities…..I do not have time to respond to or worry about those who
will be critical no matter what I do.
I am sure you understand and Schnapps and I thank you!

ReplyDeleteYou go girl. Keep up your charming patterns and good works. And to H@&# with the nasty people! ��
Hi,as a newbie to your Patterns,I just want to say what beautiful Patterns you share with us, they are easy to follow, clearly laid out, and you even give us alternative yarns we could use, which is so helpful. Take no notice of all those People who are giving you a hard time with criticising your work, which in my mind are just idiots who haven't thought about doing it for they're selves, but it's really cos they're jealous and like we say here in the UK "it's sour grapes",on they're side. So you and Schnapps keep up the good work.
