Another Note From One of Our Crocheters!

I tried the new Phentex yarn. The outcome's beautiful! It took 1.5 hour to make one. It's very hard to know where the beginning, one has to mark the first stitch. I honestly had a tough time to do it. It could be done with a single string & turned out fine without too big a hole. I used a 1/9-5.50mm hook. It takes 1.5 balls to make a hat. If you have any questions please call me

Note from One of Our Knitters

From: Susan

Vivan - A good thing happened today - A lady from New Orleans used to
live here while her house was being rebuilt. Well she has been back in
New Orleans for a couple of years and she showed up here today. Anyway
we started talking and she asked about what was on my table and I
showed her the caps and explained how it works. Her name is Mary -
While she was here, she made about half a cap and she is excited. I
gave her one of your cards. She said she had a friend named Julie who
died of cancer but anyway she is going to start making caps for people
in New Orleans. We decided people there have cancer too. She called it
"paying it forward." When she left she was on her way to Hobby Lobby.
See you Wednesday - Susan

Great news! We hope that our project reaches cities all over the states! The more knitters and crocheters making caps, the more 'happy cappers'!

Emails between a knitter and Vivian.

Hello, Susan how are you doing? How is your friend? We are praying for her.
I will be in Plano on Friday at the nail salon. Do you need yarn?
Let me know.
Vivian
I went down to see Nancy for a few days. She is OK but has been off chemo for a month and needs to start today again actually at MD Anderson. I am very proud at the way she is handling this. I don't think I would have her spirit about it. Her main concern is still helping others. Yes I could use some plain colored yarn or fluffy stuff. I bought some when i was down there and we made mostly the fun fur hats. 1 p.m. friday? See you then - Susan
Fuzzy is best because they are so soft. What I have been doing is mixing the fuzzy either with another fuzzy or a lightweight yarn and they look great and feel great - According to Nancy. She picked out a few colors for herself so I was making hats at her place too.
