A Baker's Dozen

Thirteen chemo caps packaged and ready to go. It's a good thing my husband and son have such big feet... nice big shoe boxes.

Each cap is in a gallon-sized zip close bag. I include a personal note which includes the pattern name, type of yarn, fiber content, as well as care instructions.

I think when I talked to my acquaintenance at work, Dan, this time last year (he does volunteer work for Orchard of Hope) and I promised to make some caps for annual Walk of Hope, he suggested I make about 8 or 10 caps. I said I'd shoot for 12. When I counted them today, I have 13. Yay! I made the final cap this weekend.

I especially love the top of this cap.

It's all about knitting!

I learned to knit in October 2008, just after I turned 40. My plan is to use site to post photos of my projects... to share with family and friends and anyone else who may stumble across my corner of the World Wide Web. My other hobbies include baking, cooking, crocheting, hiking, & exercising... I often say I have so many hobbies that I have to rotate them! I am sure photos of other things that interest me will find their way on to this site as well. Maybe even a recipe or two... time will only tell!
