Cedars-Sinai

Wow! Mary from Cedars-Sinai sent a huge box of yarn to me today because I sent in a bunch of hats. This will sure keep me busy for a while!

Mary, there's another box of hats on its way to you right now. :-)

Thanks Mary!

My mom (Shelley Gerber) came up with this spring design.

New Hat for April

Jay came up with another great design. This one fits sort of like a sun hat, but it's knit. The coverage is great and it's super flattering. Thanks Jay! I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Jay did it again with an adorable new hat design! This is my favorite one so far. Photos to follow soon...

Crown Headscarf Tying Instructions

This headscarf is great for a dressy occasion or for when you have a couple of extra minutes to create this look.

If you have a rectangular scarf, lay the scarf across your forehead off-centered so that you have one long tail and one short tail. If you have a square scarf, fold the scarf in half so that you have a triangle. Lay the long folded edge across your forehead as described above.

Gather the ends of the scarf at the nape of your neck and cross them behind your head. Twist the longer end, laying it across the top of your head above your forehead. Continue twisting until it meets the other, shorter end. Knot both ends together. You can tie the knot in the back, or off center as shown. Allow the tails to hang down your back or over your shoulder.

Voila!

Ronise

Dear Taylor,

I thought you might like to see someone wearing one of your lovely hats. I appreciate your efforts and we enjoy looking at the new hats you've sent during treatments.

Ronise is my wife and I wanted you to know that your hats keep her head warm and pretty daily. -Crys

Barbara's Fantastic Fleece Hats

How cute are these cozy fleece hats? Thanks go out to Barbara for creating and donating these adorable hats. Our next deliveries will be going to Dr. Wallach's office, Scripps Polster Breast Center, Torrance Memorial Hospital, Little Company of Mary Hospital (where I was born), and the San Diego Cancer Center.

Rosette Turban

Here is another way to wear a scarf. This one works with a rectangular neck scarf or with a large square scarf.

If you are using a square scarf, fold it in half so that you have a triangle. Position the long, folded edge across your forehead. You can flip up the edge to make a headband to frame your face, or leave it plain as pictured to the left.

If you are using a long neck scarf, position the scarf horizontally across your forehead. Again, you can flip up the long edge for a face-framing headband, or not.

Bring both long ends together and tie them in a knot. Make sure that the back is tucked in to form a nice edge.

Twist both long ends together and circle the twist around the knot. Once you complete the rosette, tuck in your ends. This picture shows the rosette on the side, but you can also wear it in the back. It's ok to use safety pins or clips to secure your scarf, but it probably won't be necessary. Pretty!

Jay's Donations

A big thank you to my friend and neighbor, Jay, for her hat contributions. I am shipping them off to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital later today.

The hat above is Jay's Sand Dollar Beret. She adapted it from a baby pattern. Isn't it great?

Here are some others that I'm sending to St. Jude's...
