We don't live near each other anymore... I miss her very much... She's shaving her head today... It's still winter... I think her head might get cold... I made this hat...
The yarn is merino + silk + baby alpaca. So yummy, soft and squishy.
It should keep her bald head nice and warm. :-)
Happy Fiber Arts Friday.
What a lovely idea, and a really cute cap. You seem very generous too, have a great weekend!

I love your hat...I think your friend will love it too, especially on her new bald head. You seem to be as generous as she is.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
It's a wonderful hat made even more special by all the love that went into making it! You are a good friend.
ReplyDeleteOh my, shaving her head!! I think my head would be very lumpy shape, so I had better keep my hair. Your hate is super squashy lovely. An excellent present.
ReplyDeleteLovely idea, and that yarn sounds wonderfully cosy!
ReplyDeleteGreat hat ... and I assume it's handspun? Even better for your friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good friend you are. I think socks and hats are about the nicest handmade gifts you can give someone.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you! My son's school does St. Baldrick's too and I have offered to donate hats to the teachers and students, but he's too chicken to present them.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually not hand-spun... It's Madeline Tosh which was very nice to work with.
ReplyDeleteI totally wish I had the guts to shave my head.
Vivian - I bet the participants would love handmade hats. He shouldn't be self-conscious.
ReplyDeleteThat yarn sounds like heaven! Love the hat, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift :)
ReplyDeleteI love the ribbing on the hat. What a great gift to give your friend. I can just imagine how wonderful it will feel on a freshly shaved head.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hat... it's always nice to share some love.
