It has been chilly and snowy in Delaware this week and I am finally getting around to posting Schnapps latest hat........well, he has another new one finished already too, but I'm a bit behind.
So many people are in need of chemo caps, especially in this cold weather. Please, if you use any of my patterns for any reason, take the time to make a hat (or several!) and donate them to your local cancer treatment center. If you don't know where to send them, you can always send them to me and Schnapps and we will get them to those who need them most. Let's all make a difference this year!

The patterns in the photo below are the patterns found in The Play Book,
an e-book of patterns that are not published elsewhere. The e-book can
be purchased by using the link to the right on this page or by going to
my Ravelry store or my Craftsy store.
Those links are also to the right of this page and are where all my patterns can be found. 100% of the cost of
all my patterns is put right back into supplies and shipping for DEHH and KKforK.

I'm just now learning to knit, so I haven't gotten to the point of making hats yet. But I will keep this in mind for when I get to that point. What a great project you're doing. I think it's wonderful when people use their talents to help others!
ReplyDeleteYum, lacey! Lovely, Schnapps. Love that these bulky yarn hats knit up so quickly and look great!
