Chemo cap

A friend of mine announced the other week that she's diagnosed with breast cancer, got one boob removed and is now on chemo. It's allways sad to recieve news like that and usually you feel quite insufficient as you can't do anything to make it better. But at least I can knit!

So I found a pretty pattern and the a wonderful yarn. It's a worsted merino yarn from Malabrigo. Hand-dyed and soooo soft. The colour is called Pagoda.

I found the pattern for this Hurricane hat via Ravelry. It's made by Andrea Goutier and she has kindly shared it on her blog, String In Motion.

As I didn't have my friend nearby I put the cap on an old doll of mine for a photosession:


And also on my own head for a top view:

Today, I got a MMS from my friend. She's on her way to the hospital for her next dose and she's wearing her new cap. I do hope it keeps her poor head warm during the winter.

Skriver på svenska om det är okey. Vilken vän du är för din vän. Jag minns hur jag frös om mitt huvud ifjol när jag tappade allt hår direkt efter första cellgiftet i min bröstcancerbehandling. Jag var tvungen ut o köpa en yllemössa för kunna sova på nätterna. Nu sover jag utan för jag har lite hår och det är otroligt hur det lilla håret värmer och den behndling jag ahr nu verkar jag ej tappa håret av. Så jättegod ide för din vän och det är så uppmuntrande att få gåvor när man är i den situationen. Allt gott til dig . Nu ska jag kika mer i din blogg. Välkommen o titta in i min blogg. ruach.blogg.se Hälsningar Kristina i Umeå( m:s mamma)

Downsides -They're skinny Red Bottom Shoes and don't offer much protection. Plastic sleeves usually are not proposed for long-term storage.

If you are having difficulty getting pregnant, it may be helpful to look at the list below and assess your fertility levels.
If you approach this from the viewpoint that the man may have a low sperm count, you may miss the fact that the woman may be low in folic acid.
