It's almost October already! I'm not sure where 2024 is going, but it's going quickly! I have been busy working on new patterns though. My latests e-book, Gifts from the Heart contains 10 patterns, all named gift in various languages. Chemo caps are needed everywhere and they are truly gifts from the heart!
Each pattern is great for knitting while watching football! And you've got plenty of time to make all of these as holiday gifts for friends and family too. Just please remember to donate some to your local cancer center or to DEHH!
I'm fairly certain that I will get pushback from people who demand all my patterns be free and immediate. I'd just like to ask you all to think about the amount of time that goes into creating patterns and the amount of time and money that goes into running Delaware Head Huggers. Sadly, most people who are demanding access to patterns are those who don't donate chemo caps. If you use any of my patterns for your own purposes, please consider donating to DEHH.
Bronntanas has already been published on this blog. The remaining nine patterns are all brand new. All e-book sale profits go right back into running Delaware Head Huggers. I've priced Gifts from the Heart at only $10 - which I think is very reasonable. Each pattern will also be available individually for those of you who only want one. They will be priced at $2.50 each. Most independent patterns are priced much higher. Please remember that Ravelry and Etsy take a portion of the sales.
I will share these patterns eventually on this blog, but not as PDF's.
Here are photos of the 10 patterns included.

Remember, just ONE skein of yarn is needed to make a difference in someone's life. I bet you have a skein of yarn lying in your stash that you could use to help someone through a difficult time.
