We all know that charity knitting provides us with a wonderfully warm and fuzzy feeling. Knowing that your hand made chemo cap is going to make a women look wonderful when she's feeling her worst, or providing a washcloth stitched with love to someone who could use a little comfort gives us a good feeling. And a sense of contributing, even in a small way, to our community.
However an added benefit, is that now that you've learned to knit for charity, you have the skills to knit for others, such as spouses, friends, pets and your kids.
Cindy, who is one of my friends from work who heard about what we were doing, and wanted to learn to knit primarily to get involved in our charity knitting. Turns out she's a total natural!! Almost immediately she had the stitches figured out, she knew how to hold her yarn and she was hooked!
Cindy has 2 adorable little girls who quickly knew THEY had to have a "Cindy Original". So in addition to the several caps Cindy donated to our chemo cap project, she managed to work in 2 for her girls. As you can see, the hats and the girls are just too cute!
