One of my favorite bloggers, Bev's Country Cottage, has a whole page of links to patterns for Chemo/Brain Surgery Caps.
There's patterns for knitting, as well as crochet, sewing, and embelishments. There's even a whole list of places to donate chemo caps if you make more than you need.
So, Thank You Bev

Do you know of a charity knitting group?
If there's a charity knitting group that you are a part of,
send me a link and/or the information.
I've searched the internet for several days trying to compile a current list,
and so much of what I'm finding is out dated or Error 401.
Thanks

There is still so much pain in the world
There is still so much pain in the world.
I'm currently reading "Faith Club".
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if we all just focused on what we have in common?
I'm off to look up information on U2 Bono's Coexist idea.
Has anyone tried knitting that yet?
What exactly does: "Peace, Out" mean?

Just so You Know
Just so you know where it would go if you were to donate:
In 2004 Ruby donated:
over 100 yards of kid friendly fabric and boxes of other supplies to a UMW quilter's group to make small quilts for children in an orphanage in the Carribean.
Helped to deliver Quilts to the island home.
Repaired the sewing machine for the Lady of the House so she can resume sewing name patches for income.
Sent fabric, and sewing supplies, and garden vegetable seeds to new friends at the Carribean Mission. They made curtains first, then projects for sale to tourists. The vegetables are sold to resorts to support the Mission.
In 2005, with help from and to UMCOR, Ruby and friends:
Knit caps and ear warmers went to Marines in Iraq
Fabric CoolTies went to Marines in Iraq with boxes of underwear, socks, soap, sunlotion, etc.
Slippers went to The Ships Project
Made trips to Louisiana and Mississippi with a Truck and Trailer full of supplies
Spent 5 weeks, total, in service with UMCOR in Huricane relief areas
In 2006 Ruby donated:
Yarn: a large size Lawn & Leaf bag full of yarn went to the local Arts Council
yarn went to the local elementary school art teacher for crafts and art projects
In 2007 Ruby has donated so far:

Book Recomendation: Knitting for Peace

Besides having some great stories and resources on where you can apply your talents to help others, there's some really great patterns.
