Note From a Capper's Husband

Hi
My wife is getting chemo treatment, and when we were in North Texas Cancer Center on 15th St in Plano we saw your basket and sign. She crochets blankets for Project Linus, which donates blankets to premie babies. She is also interested in making caps for your project. How do we get started?
Thanks
David

We use very soft yarn. Most of the yarn we use is a Hobby Lobby brand called "I Love this Yarn". Most of the ladies that make the caps live in the Allen area. We meet at the Allen Senior Center on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. We also knit or crochet at home. We would love to have your wife join our project. The need for the caps is increasing and we have been delivering around 100 a week to 5 cancer centers in this area.
Some of the ladies make the caps at home and either bring the caps to the center or mail them to our mailing address.
I am going to attach several of our crochet patterns.
If she needs more information or additional assistance please let us know.
Thank you again for wanting to join our project.
Vivian
