Cookies and Hats
I think I'm done with the cookie baking. Have gingerbread, oatmeal, walnut balls, Hussars (jelly-filled) and sugar cookies. Most are in containers in the freezer, awaiting packing up and wrapping. I'm bringing a plate-ful to the chemo doc's office today. Different ones will go when I also bring their Christmas presents on the 23rd.
Still no yarn came in. Can you hear me whimpering? It's not like I don't have projects to work on, and Christmas gifts to wrap and ship - to keep me busy. But I actually dreamt about the tights that are waiting on more yarn. I was talking with Meg Swansen, who was wearing the tights in white. That's because yesterday I received faxes that were meant for her, so she crept into my subconscious.
Between Anne's and Alicia's suggestions, I have a new name for the Skull Cap - Bon Bon Beanie! So, it's been changed in that post.
Gonna go wrap gifts, then off to chemo, where I'll knit on the 2nd cable-edged hat sample.
Scroll down to tan and blue hat. This sample is in Cascade's Eco. I also have some Berroco Touche (half cotton, half rayon) in tan and red, for another sample.

Bon Bon Beanie is perfect! I'm heading out yarn shopping for chemo head coverings this weekend and I'll pick up something to make the Bon Bon.
Chemo port installed yesterday. Chemo starts next week. Nervous? Yes, very!

Anne

Hi Anne,
Glad you lie the new cap's name!
I know you're nervous, but you'll see, it'll be OK - getting chemo is the easy part. After they prick through the port - itsy bitsy pain, not even like getting a shot - ya just sit there for 3 hours or so.
It's the side effects that may occur. Everyone's different, but, if you're like me, once you get to chemo #2, they start to subside into minor nuisances.
You'll be in my thoughts. Send me your address - privately! - to dawn@dawnbrocco.com and I pop some hats in the mail to you soon.
