Teenager Chemo Cap

I recently learned about a teenage girl with cancer that lives in the town where I graduated from high school, not far from here.  We have a lot of things in common, and I felt led to crochet a chemo cap for her.  I decided to make this tam in her school colors, using yarn from my stash. I hope she likes it!

Update:  My two teenagers clued me into the fact that this hat design is not popular with kids their age.  They suggested a stocking hat with a pompon.  So I frogged the tam and looked on Google for another design.  Lion Brand had what I needed here. All I needed to do was add the pompon. The new hat is redone and approved by both kids.

Missing All of You

Since I am back to work full-time at school, I rarely get to get on here, either to post or to visit any other blogs. It was wonderful this summer, especially during a very difficult period health-wise, to come on this blog and see your encouraging comments.  But now the school-year is in full swing, and I am often too tired to get on the computer when I get home, much less to crochet.  So that is why I am not posting as much, or rather, rarely.  I still think of all of you blogging friends, and will post and visit when I can.  These pictures are my latest two projects.

...and a third picture of my cat, Oreo, curling up on a just completed project!
