Just as there are people who donate things just because they want recognition instead of just wanting to help others. We can't be responsible for the actions of others......all we can do is try to help those who need it.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08066688390794656282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829528098444127127.post-91502852037386142022017-01-07T19:43:43.056-05:002017-01-07T19:43:43.056-05:00Hi Robin!

I SO love your patterns - and I SO love it when I click on a link and your pretty pup shows up, cuz I know it'll be a pattern I can understand and do :-)<br /> I donated some things to my local hosp when my son was born, (36 years ago <3 ) and discovered later that the woman I gave the things to kept them :-( Sooo now I'm a bit leery of donating. I've also heard that the things given go to their "favorite" patients. How can I get around this kind of "stuff" (being polite here). I badly want to make baby blankets for those who have no access to pretties, and don't want them to go to people who CAN otherwise have them, just because the nurse likes them. Help!

I have made a few of your Braided Hope hats - so cute and hip. I'm working on the Crossed Comfort Hat now for my Mother-in-Law, who is undergoing chemo treatment. I chose this pattern because because I thought the hat looked dense - meaning no holes to see through to her head. I'm think I am doing it correctly and there seem to be some lacy open areas between the crosses. Is this how it should appear? It looks pretty, but it's not providing as much coverage as I think she would like. If this is how it should look, then I'm wondering if another pattern might be better for my MIL and wondering if you can suggest one that uses this weight yarn? Thanks so much. Hi to Schnapps!

When I first spotted this pattern I thought it might be more than I could tackle but I dove in and to my delight I found it to be very very easy. It's just beautiful when completed. I knit 3 or 4 hats for charity each week and this pattern adds variety to my knitting. Thanks again. I'll try some of your other patterns as well.

Most of my patterns are 48 stitches with size 13 needles. This is size 11 needles. 86 stitches would be ridiculously huge using 5 weight yarn and 86 stitches. Of course, feel free to do whatever you want with it. The pattern is written the way it was designed.

The pattern in the blog and the PDF (as well as the one on Ravelry) cite a cast on of 56 stitches. That just doesn't seem possible unless I am missing something (but perhaps I'm just losing what's left of my mind?). I noticed a earlier commenter mentioned to you that she was worried that "86" stitches might not be big enough for a man and when you replied to her, you didn't correct her and suggest she use "56" as the pattern states. I looked at some of your other patterns and notice you often use a cast on of "86." I'm guessing that is the correct cast on - but if you have the time and could clarify this, I would greatly appreciate it.Cindy Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16597209765598123074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829528098444127127.post-68637696577867991252015-12-09T16:03:50.898-05:002015-12-09T16:03:50.898-05:00I intend to try this one :-) I just want you to k...I intend to try this one :-) I just want you to know how much you're appreciated - altho it seems everyone is telling you that :-) One thing I SOOOO appreciate is that you don't use pdf except by choice - I miss out on a lot of patterns <br />because I have no working printer so can't use pdf.

I noticed one difference in your pattern from others, that you don't switch to DPNs as you start to decrease, this will save me from purchasing other needles. Please correct me if I am wrong, at the time you stop decreasing you have 32 stitches on the circular needles and pull an approximately 6 inch length of yarn through those stitches to finish the top off? Thank you so much for sharing your pattern! Callie's MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
