We appreciate the time and love it takes to knit these caps. The caps are very special... they take with them a message of love and caring sent by those who knit them! We place the caps in cancer centers, hospitals and doctor’s offices as gifts for women and children receiving chemotherapy. Our project is big, with a wonderful goal, and you are part of it… a circle of people caring about people! Our heartfelt thanks to you!
