Shades of Pink ~ Hats for Cancer
Here is a collection of different hats I made for my hematologist to give to her cancer patients. When I visited her the first time I was in total shock because I did not realize that oncology and hematology are treated by the same physicians. My precious, soft spoken doctor is the sweetest and dearest lady from India. I just love her. She gives so much to her patients with her kindness and compassion, I decided I wanted to share with her some of the many hats I have knitted...I am an OCD hat and sock knitter. She does not treat children, but she has many older, aged female patients who are so tiny they need hats made by children’s patterns. Doing this is a way to honor my sister and others who have fought and continue to fight this battle. Maybe one day soon we will find a cure; that would be so wonderful.

What a wonderful idea and service you are doing. The little pink caps are great. It is hard for me to understand why they have not found something to detect cancer before it gets out of control. There is so many brilliant minds and technology, that they should have done more by now.
ReplyDeleteGenie, these are so nice. What a nice thing to do. I am sure they are so appreciative.
ReplyDeleteI agree with LV......why can't they find a cure. So much money goes to breast cancer esp. and still no hope.
I sent you an email.
Those are such beautiful hats and such a beautiful gesture. I have seen patients receiving chemo go through the free hats and they are always smiling with the blessings and generosity provided.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a wonderful way to give bsck!! How sweet of you! Your hats are just so cute!! And so is your blog!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!
What a wonderful thing for you to do! To have people you'll never meet, feel the softness and warmth of the yarn that you worked through your fingers and find comfort - just as you found comfort through the process of making them. A circle of love!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment on my blog post - so glad you enjoyed it!
The hats are exquisite. You know that the ladies using the hats are so appreciative.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday Genie, You hats are very cute. I lost my hair while having chemo and was bald for quite some time. I didn't like wigs so I liked having scarves and hats to wear. Thanks for stopping by to say hello. If you can stop by again on Monday and help me celebrate.
