A totally volunteer effort here folks but several of us would like to make capps, hats, blankets, booties.... and donate them to our local hospitals with our BYC tag attached to them. If you want me to add your item(s) to a box full of mine and others that would like to send them to another BYC member that is a Nurse in a Preemie unit (who will take some pictures for us of the itmes in use) ...just pm me for my address and send them my way..I'll make sure they all get delivered.
The chemo caps for kids with cancer can be any pattern ... the internet is loaded with them! Any yarns and any colors!! I've seen loopy, shaggy, wild colored ones with beads and fringes and sequins. Anything happy looking to make these kids smile!
The preemie hats can also be any pattern or soft yarns. Arlee453 suggests www.threadsoflove.org as an awesome needy charity for this projects. There is also a ProjectLinus and numerous other deserving organizations that deal with ccancer stricken children and premature infants. Many of the National Charities have local chapters and can be accessed via the web. Alot of them also offer free patterns for items to make and donate.
Be creative and use whatever resources you are comfortable with, felt, crochet, sewing, ....
If you are interested, please post and say so and work on your project(s) as you can and post pictures of your progress to keep everyone motivated!!
What a great project idea!!! I really hope alot of folks, all crafters volunteer for this effort!!!
