I made my mom another chemo cap, she had her 2nd treatment and is feeling tired, but in good spirits and is eating well. I need to find some buttons to compliment this one. It my own pattern and I used Caron Simply Soft Paints, that yarn is so soft it's a pleasure to work with.
from the book Simple Knit for Cherished Babies. It's full of sweet little knits I got it at the library and am thinking about ordering a copy for my personal library.
Along with the booties I've been working on a Tomten baby jacket, which of course is an Elizabeth Zimmerman classic from the book Knitting without Tears. I love the way this jacket comes together. I'm planning a cap for this set.

Oh sweet baby booties and sweater. I love that EZ pattern, it's so darn cute. I know your Mom will appreciate the additional cap. Pretty colors and I have touched this yarn before, actually squeezed it and wouldn't let it go. It is very soft. Take a pic if you find a special button please. Glad to hear her spirits are good.
Good thoughts coming your Mom's way from Oregon. Such a trying time for you both. And doesn't something seem so wrong that on top of having cancer and having to go through chemo that one loses their hair too - insult upon injury! The special caps made with so much love will be much appreciated by your Mom.
The hat turned out beautifully; nice work. I have never knit the tomten only the surprise jacket=this looks like a fun knit.
The boots and sweater are really nice but I love the chemo hat. I'm always a sucker for hats.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
