Today I delivered our 7 preemie hats to the hospital's maternity ward. They were gratefully accepted and Katrina, the Charge Nurse, was very impressed with the wonderfulness of our hats. She oohed and awed a lot. Group, we did well!

Challenging Alaskans to Knit for the 2010 Olympics! This Team originally formed to meet the challenge of Knitting Olympics 2006. The members cast on a project during the Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Olympics and did their best to finish before the Olympic flame went out. We tested ourselves during the Summer Knitting Olympic Trials of August 2008. Now we're heading for February 12, 2010: ready, set, KNIT when the flame is lit!

That's news to make a knitter feel good. Thanks, Choc!
Choc,
Thanks so much for your nice comment at "Knitting Weather."
I left another message at the Cancer Connection and am waiting to hear back. I haven't started knitting a chemo cap yet, but still intend to. Has anyone else out there gotten started?
Kathy,
I haven't started knitting a chemo hat yet. Waiting for "official" guidance and I have a sweater to work on in the meantime. I thought that I'd look at the list of patterns Linda provided earlier and choose one from that list.
I enjoyed reading about your recent yarn dying and checked out the links that you provided. I may try some koolaid dying in the fall, which is when I expect to have the knitting done that I have promised to my DDs.
Kathy and Choc,
I've started a chemo cap, with a variegated eyelash-ey yarn, have about an inch done, and will probably finish by this weekend. I was going to knit while I waited for my start time at the Gold Nugget Triathlon, this past weekend, but ended up volunteering as a lap counter for the swimming, so didn't get much knitting done!

Linda,
Did you participate as an individual or part of a team in the triathlon?
If you were on a team, which leg did you do?
Kathy, I was part of the WOMBATS team ("Tri-Bats"), but we all did the whole Gold Nugget Triathlon. I was very pleased to be able to do the whole thing, and I didn't even need to use my staff during my four mile walk. It's always a fun event!
Linda
Sorry Choc, I accidentally addressed my comment to Kathy! Do you do triathlons, or are you interested in trying one?
Linda
Linda,
No, I don't do triathlons. I do admire people who are good at running, swimming and bicycling. I enjoy bike riding, but don't run and am not a comfortable swimmer.
