they'll go to patients at a (somewhat) local cancer hospital - or cancer center - or whatever it's called. The yarn came from my mom's church. They were having what they called "Spring into Service." I went with my ten-year-old daughter. There were many worthy projects including; making gifts for patients at the VA hospital, jewelry kits for teens in a home, blankets for the senior center, care packages for service men and women overseas ... and more. Mikay and I worked on hats for cancer patients. At the end of the day (or rather, 4 hours), there was much leftover donated yarn. I brought home some green and melon-colored cotton. Several skeins (though I can't really remember the exact number right now and the are alllll the way in the other room). I thought they would make good summer hats because the yarn is lightweight and breathes well. Being cotton though, there isn't much give so I used the boyfriend hat pattern as best as my brain could remember without having to go to the trouble of looking it up again (which, interestingly, I had to look up in order to link it here). Love, love, love a k3 p2 ribbing! I figure I'll just keep knitting them until I run out of yarn.
This afternoon I finished hat #3 while watching Bones season two episodes on DVD.

I like the colors: they remind me of sherbet. The hats look great. Nice Job.
They look great! It feels wonderful making things for charity, huh? Like your efforts are completely worth it!
They look great! I can attest that cancer patients enjoy having these hats. I made a hat for my mom and she wears it every day. Actually, I made two, but she likes the bigger one better to wear in the A/C.
Great cause. Lovely colors.
I like the green and pink together, despite the fact that I don't like green and pink together! Very nice, and the colors do work.
I posted this on my blog also, hopefully you'll get a few hits!

Nice hats! I always have to look up the pattern. :)
Just like always, I love them! The colors are very cute. I hope some day I can figure out how to knit on three dpn's. I tried once and got very frustrated.
