In the spirit of collaborative art and making life more fun for my loved ones (that I haven't met yet) that are getting chemo, I intend to participate in this event. I would love it if some of you came also, seems like about 5 of my firends are going to come, Burners as well as one of my business colleagues. I don't know whether I will attending as a knitter/crocheter or decorator since I haven't done any crochetting or knitting for 25 years but I may buy some needles this weekend, hats are pretty basic.

Would love to have any or all of you join me.


"Chemo Caps & Other Head Huggers for Cancer Patients
Join Craft Gym for an evening of crafting as we make caps and other head huggers for cancer patients currently undergoing chemotherapy and other treatments. You can make a difference whether you are a first timer or you have experience sewing, knitting, or crocheting. Free cap patterns and sewing machines will be provided.* Please bring the following sewing, knitting, crochet, or other project materials as a donation:

Sewers: 1 yard of polar fleece

Knitters & Crocheters: 1 skein of soft yarn (100% Cotton, 100% Acrylic like Lion Brand’s MICRO-SPUN, or other machine washable fibers. No animal fibers please! Some people have allergies.)

Novices/Beginners: A few skeins of embroidery floss (or ribbons, buttons, appliqués, beads, etc). Craft Gym will provide pre-made caps that you are welcome to embellish.

And, feel free to use the material you bring or swap with other Chemo Cap makers. All finished pieces will be donated in hospital oncology units and hospices in the Bay Area.
