Neighbours, I need your help
My beautiful best friend has just been diagnosed with leukaemia, and I'm devastated as all heck. As we forge ahead with treatment plans, she is well supported and surrounded with love.
She will lose all her beautiful hair, and I've taken up my needles to knit her some hats. And knitting is a great thing to do in a hospital. There are even beautiful people out there that knit hats and donate them to the ward!
Neighbours, I need wool of the 8 ply variety, it doesn't have to be pure wool, but it needs to be soft to support with love people going through treatment. I'd like to keep my shaking, scared hands busy knitting hats to donate to Wellington Cancer Ward, but I only have two balls of wool.
Now, I am woefully, criminally and sadly underemployed, despite undertaking tertiary study as an adult, and being quite smart. And that means I'm broke in a hand-to-mouth, this really sucks! sort of way.
I'm happy to pick up anything kindly donated. A hat takes about 1-1/2 skeins of 50 gm balls. I'm a novice knitter, but I'm taking up the needles for a cause, and I hope some of you can help me with donated balls of wool.
Thanks very much neighbours
