We just brought another set of hats into the Center for Cancer Care off of Kennedy Drive in Torrington today. They are really needed at this time of year. It is important that hats for chemo patients are made with soft yarn. Yarns like Red Heart Super Saver are just too scratchy for this purpose. The patients prefer that the hats be of a closed pattern. No "holes" to reveal hair loss. Our pastor made a hat out of Caron Bliss yarn on a knitting loom. It was the most popular with the staff when they looked at the hats. I hope to bring in more very soon.
As we were leaving the center my daughter noticed a stone path going around the side of the building. We wandered over to see what it was. It lead to a beautifully landscaped area complete with a multi level fish pond. There are benches and small tables around to relax and take it all in. There are plaques that show that these things were all donated in memory of individuals. Absolutely beautiful!
Here is a photo of the hats that were brought in today.
