Helvie’s Hat
Helvie is my dear friend’s mother. She has been fighting a tough battle with cancer for sometime. She is strong and resiliant. When she decided to undergo another round of chemo, she was worried about losing her hair and her head being cold. Where would she find warm hats? Well, Helvie, we have the most generous knitting group and we asked them to knit you nice, soft, warm hats. Please enjoy the wonderful hats everyone has made for you☺ Take care. We are thinking and praying for you!
