Hi Dot...I love your patterns and have been making a bunch of them for my sis-in-law who has been diagnosed with cancer and has lost her hair because of chemo.
I am working this Puff n Stuff hat and I am on Row 20..."TURN and work in back loops".
Do you mean the back loops after you turn, or the original back loops (in which case would be front loops after turning)? Hope I worded my question so you can see what I mean...Thanks for all your patterns...you are a great designer! |

You're welcome, Tina. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I lost my dearest friend about 8 years ago to breast cancer. I wish there was something I could do to ease your pain and help your friend. I'll pray for you. |

Thank you for the patterns! My dearest friend just got diagnosed with pretty advanced breast cancer (get those mammograms! she was too afraid to get one, and now it's very late in the day). I was looking for some patterns I can do for her that don't look like chemo caps, and these fill the bill beautifully. Heaven bless you, and my friend, too. Tina, Princeton. NJ |
