Hot•Heads

My sister has some connections at Baptist Hospital and she was talking to a lady yesterday who works with chemo patients.  She said that one lady is starting to lose her hair quickly.  She could tell that she was very self-conscious about it.  She wished that she had some hats that she could at least offer these patients.

The room in which they take chemo is very cold, too, so hats are very practical for them, even during this time of year.

My sister told the nurse that she had a connection to get hats for these patients.  She only asked for five hats – we were able to send ten beautiful Hot•Heads!  The nurse was so thankful and amazed!  First, that she could even get hats this time of year and second, that they were donated!

I’m so thankful that people have chosen to continue knitting.  I confess that it is hard for me to even think about knitting sometimes during this weather.  So, I am incredibly grateful to those who do!  You have truly blessed some people who needed a bright spot in their lives today.

Knit on!!!

Hot•Heads is super excited about partnering with Easely Amused in June!  We will offer two classes; one at the Flowood location on June 7th, and one at the Ridgeland location on June 28th.

We will be teaching the group how to knit on a loom.  You will receive a loom set and a skein of yarn.  

At the end of the night, you will go home with a kid-sized hat.  We hope that you will be inspired to continue to knit with us for 2010!  We have a huge goal to give 3000 hats to those in need in the greater Jackson area.  We are also hoping to send atleast 200 hats to Perm, Russia.  (Be sure to look at the pics on the site – it’s incredible.)

Our heart is to serve others in this way and also connect with each other.  Knitting is a great way to do this.  We have people of all ages, 8 to 78, that knit for Hot•Heads.  It’s very easy and I must warn you, addicting!

In fact, here’s a little encouragement for you…for every 5 adult sized hats you donate to Hot•Heads through Easely Amused, you will be given a gift certificate for a FREE class (limit 3 per family).  We’ll have more information on this available the night of the class…

We look forward to seeing you in June!
