Chemo Cap and Cottage

I'm knitting a chemo cap for someone I know who is losing her hair due to chemotherapy treatment for cancer. I found this pattern  and rummaged around in my stash of cotton yarns for something appropriate. Cotton yarn is recommended. I didn't want to use dishcloth cotton but remembered I had some nice pima cotton DK weight and I actually found it!

I modified the pattern by casting on 16 more stitches and going down a needle size.

This should whip up pretty quickly.

I spent the weekend at Marilyn's cottage. We spent a lot of time crafting. I worked on my diamond painting, knit a bunch on my latest crescent swallowtail shawl, and some stitching on my Quilting Bee. There was no Wifi and very poor cellular coverage. We watched some movies on DVD, napped a lot, took walks, ate good food, and gabbed.

I took a couple of photos.

It was very quiet and relaxing. The leaves are just starting to turn.

I am so fortunate to have friends who want me to visit their cottage. It was a lovely way to spend the last days of September.
