THE STORY OF A HAT

A one year old was diagnosed with leukemia this fall. I wanted to give the girl a cute hat to wear on her chemo-induced bald head this winter.

A woman was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008. The woman is an online friend of mine who knits. She showed me a bunch of patterns. I hired her and chose a pattern - not too boring, but not to silly or frilly. Here's a picture from the site I saw it on.

The woman knit the hat for the girl. She refused to take my money. She did it as a way to pay forward all the kind things people did for her when she was going through chemo. Here's a picture of the hat she knit.

I love it. Better yet, the girl's mom says the girl loves it.

A little girl getting her bald head warmed and beautifed by a woman she'll never meet, a woman who knows what it's like to do the chemo gig. How cool is that?!
