    I'm still making baby blankets for charity; donated a couple last year along with over 2 dozen newborn hats. (I'm slow...) Currently, I am making a knit and a crochet blanket to donate through my Eastern Star chapter to area hospitals...I prefer crochet; as I am even slower knitting & I hate frogging... ^_^

    After having cancer...with no hair for three years, I knit hats all year long for cancer patients. I know first hand how nice it was to have a soft warm cap on my head.

    I crochet scarves, prayer shawls and afghan to donate as an encouragement to those going through a hard time. I find that something "homemade with love" goes a long way to making the world look better.

    My mother is a 25+ year survivor of breast cancer. She's still going strong at almost 90 years young. I would LOVE to win either the yarn or one of the books to donate to cancer treatment centers. Most recently I've been working on things for Project Linus and my quilt guild's charities for children.

    Thank you for this lovely giveaway. The only thing I knit is dishcloths, so winning a book would definitely push me to do more. I was given a scarf when I was diagnosed with breast cancer last spring, so it would be great for me to share that love with others.

    As a knitter/quilter I am involved in providing for many charities. Quilts for children in care, challenged adults, a local women's shelter and the local Alzheimer Society. As well I have sent quilts and afghans to Calgary and Lac Megantic this past year. As a knitter I knit hats, scarves and mitts for our town's Child and Family Resource Centre. It is gratifying to see my handwork warming some of our less fortunate children.

    I think my last charity knit was a block for a charity quilt, though it might have been a chemo hat. Can't remember for sure.

    My most recent charity project was helping to knit squares for banners to decorate Portland's Broadway Bridge in August. The banners have been deconstructed into 42 blankets for local shelters and hospitals. I just finished de-fuzzing three blankets, and they'll be on their way next week.

    My boyfriend went through treatment for cancer at OHSU's Knight Cancer Institute. I found out there were few hats for the male patients, so I have been knitting hats for about the last ten months.

Honeycomb Cable Hat - Greenland

I got the brilliant idea this year to knit a number of people gifts.  I managed to finish 6 projects in the month of December and write out the patterns for most of them.  One of my favorites was this lovely cabled hat knit in Greenland .  Greenland is one of my favorite yarns - it has this amazing springy twists and has fabulous stitch definition.  Sadly, I seem to never get a chance to knit it. The finished hat shown is for an average adult - finished (unstretched) measurement is 7" wide and 8" long from the cast on edge.  I cast on 88 stitches.  It can easily be adapted to be smaller (cast on 80 stitches) or larger (cast on 96 stitches). Materials: (1), 1, (2) ball Greenland (100% Superwash Merino Wool - 137 yds/100 g) - shown in color 3549 US 7 - 16" circular needles US 9 - 16" circular needles Cable needle (or spare DPN) Stitch Marker Abbrevations K - Knit P - Purl cn - cable needle Sl - slip 4-st RC - Sl 2 st...
