<p>The idea was that people would get together to make Chemo Caps, with materials and needles supplied by the shop if you didn&#8217;t have them.  There were lots of very helpful people there, and even an older gentleman showed up and did a bit of knitting!  The treats were so good, and we were even helped by other people in the park when one of our tents decided it would rather be a kite:)</p>
<p>So far I&#8217;ve made one cap, and am nearly done the second.  Now, keep in mind that I am <span class="caps">NOT</span> a knitter, and if I can do this, anyone can!</p>
<p>While sitting in my lawn chair, enjoying the beautiful weather, unbeknownst to me I had my photo snapped.  One of our local reporters caught me looking like I knew what I was doing, and I ended up in the <a href="http://www.bclocalnews.com/vancouver_island_north/campbellrivermirror/community/53588972.html">paper</a>!!</p>
<p>If you are interested in finding some great and easy cap patterns, please contact the wonderful people at <a href="http://www.needlenart.com">The Needle and Arts Centre</a>  They also do mail order for all of their yarns and supplies!</p>
<p>Now, off to finish that second cap, add some embellishment, and take photos of this one before I turn it in and get started on the next one!</p>]]></summary><updated>2009-08-29T20:40:11-07:00</updated><published>2009-08-29T20:40:11-07:00</published><author><name>Leanne King</name></author><link href='http://www.rushsdrygoods.ca/blogs/news/1214722-chemo-caps' rel='alternate'/></entry><entry><id>tag:db1@shopify.com,2009:articles/1147892</id><title>Welcome!</title><summary type='html'><![CDATA[<p>After a lot of sweat, and tears, and maybe a bit of yelling and cursing (not me, no way), my online shop is alive and well!</p>
<p>I have decided to concentrate on bag-making, as that is a passion that, for me anyway, will not soon wane.  There are new patterns arriving on a very regular basis, and the selection of fabrics available has never been as bountiful.  I will be carrying the latest fabrics very soon.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something and don&#8217;t see it, chances are I can get it for you.  I have wonderful suppliers, and lots of products available to me.  Any and all feedback is heartily welcomed.</p>
<p>Enjoy browsing, and throw an item or two into your shopping cart :)</p>
<p>Happy Sewing.</p>
