How wonderful for people to know that a stranger wants to help. I originally posted a photo of these lovely caps on January 31st and since then, a website visitor (Marsha), who recently started crocheting chemo caps, asked Kathy for, and received, the pattern. \u00a0Then today, this message came in: <em><strong>&#8220;Hello, I came across this site by accident and saw your beautiful and  colorful caps. They\u2019re gorgeous!  I would love to purchase a couple for  my 18yr old daughter who was recently diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma  cancer in February 2011.  She has lost all of her hair. She is in chemo  treatment every 2 weeks. She has received many nice caps from generous  people but would really enjoy some colorful and bright, spring colors. Thank you for your consideration.
