Next month in Atlanta, many people will participate in the Susan B. Komen 3 Day Walk, but not all of them will be walkers. Some are volunteers, others contribute money, while many will give of our time and talents.
For those living in the Atlanta Area, there is a wonderful event being hosted for knitters in support of Breast Cancer Awareness on Sunday Sept. 30th at The Whole Nine Yarns in Woodstock, Georgia.
In our own circle of friends and family, we have had people touched by breast cancer and other serious illnesses. Carol Price, who owns A Stitch in Time Machine Embroidery website, took a few minutes at the Indiana Conference to show me how to make a chemo cap utilizing the knitting directions available on her web site (it is a free download). I had never used double pointed needles in the round, so a quick "how to" was truly appreciated by me. With that, I went home and downloaded her directions found under "Projects" and made my first hat. I found it very easy to make even though I am a beginner knitter. Carol Price's site is linked above where the chemo cap directions can be found under "Knitting Projects". She encouraged me to try all kinds of yarns, and that's when I fell in love with Debbie Bliss cashmerino and all soft fuzzy yarns.
