Relay for life-- Chemo Caps
My daughter Katie and I went to the Team leaders meeting last night in Overton, for 'RELAY FOR LIFE' and got our paperwork and such. It's going to be a ton of hard work finding people to be on our team, to sell Luminaries, to raise funds, even for me to sleep there overnight--my body isn't real good about camping anymore. But it's only one night and for a good reason.
We are doing a theme of 'FARM FUN' or something like that since we are the "Qualheim FARMERS INSURANCE TEAM". =)
We will have fundraising games
* Facepainting
* maybe a farmyard bean bag toss
* baked goods sale
* Chemo caps for sleeping
* pink ribbon pins for sale
* contest to guess how many candies are in a jar
At the meeting they were talking about what we would set up for fun things to do, and I mentioned an odd idea to do at our Campsite - teaching people to loom knit and so many people were excited I was shocked. They all wanted to learn! They told me I could sell the looms or ask for a donation to learn to loom knit. I figure we can sit on Hay Bales to do this.
We will make Chemo Night Caps. (see photo) I am looming them as follows, as they need to be
slightly 'airy' so not too hot to wear at night, but something to keep their heads cozy

Bev's CHEMO NIGHT CAP
Copyright 2007 Beverly A. Qualheim - All Rights Reserved - Do not copy to other blogs or in emails, or websites.
The hat I made fits me perfectly, and it measures 9.5" tall. That includes the roll up which only rolled a couple of rows.
It measures 8.5" across the front of the bottom of the hat.
Use ITA Red loom 36 pegs (3/4" apart) or Red KK Loom 36 pegs (3/4" apart)
2 strands pink Simply Soft Yarn (2 oz or so)
(or any color you wish as long as you keep the white rows in there at the top)
E-Wrap loom 2 times around, lift one e-wrap over one e-wrap. (this is a single stitch)
There is NO brim on this hat. Just knit, and it will naturally roll up a little.
Knit 20 rows in pink, change to white (white is to represent the Angels watching over them at night)
knit 5 rows in white.
Change back to pink and knit 3 more rows.
Gather, remove.
You can also make these for kids using the 31 peg looms (3/4" apart).
Make them 8" tall
~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~
If any of you would like to help make these, and they could be in any colors really (although I really would like that 5 rows of white in there at the top since thatis the 'angels' watching over the wearer), please do. =) I am hoping to sell them, along with the pink ribbon pins and other items that night (our walk is the 20, 21 April so I need all donations by April 10th)
We are supposed to sell starting now till the day of the walk too! =)
(Please include your email address in the package so I can thank you.)
