No hair day

My first projects were completed in Janury, this in February, 08. This I stumbled upon when looking for a sun hat pattern for M. This is the link for what I found instead: http://www.headhuggers.org/patterns/kpatt10.htm

It is called "The 'No-Hair-Day' Hairy Chemo Cap. My friend's daughter (10 months younger than M) had just commented on not liking her mom's post chemo hair . So I made them matching hats. I asked her what color she wanted, this was what she chose.

My daughter comments when we go and look at yarn and she sees this yarn, "This is weird yarn, isn't it?" As a novice knitter, I must have said that several times, as it is very forgiving if you make a mistake (the fur hides everything), but if you make a mistake, it's harder to fix, because you can't rip it easily or see it well to fix it.

I think they are great fun. My dh, when I started knitting, told me "Just don't make anything for me." He is very wise, and was avoiding a potentially less than ideal situation (me knitting with love, him really not wanting to wear it). But when he saw this, he told me, "You can make me one of those. In yellow."

did you make him one? OMG, that would be a sight to behold. Actually, I think you should make one for each of you.

I haven't yet. I thought the same thing. I just haven't gone to get the yarn. I've been too busy playing with yours!
