And who likes chores…?!It got me thinking about my childhood in the summers. Growing up in Minnesota, along the Mississippi River, we swam day and night! Literally!

(Free Pattern attached below). We just brought in a new lace weight...

Nancy Stewart is a physical therapist who retired in 2013.  She specialized in working with people who had been diagnosed with cancer. In 2008 she too was diagnosed with cancer and lost her hair from her treatment. In the Fall of 2013 Nancy noticed the basket of knitted hats at the nurse’s station in the infusion center at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania. At the time Nancy had left over yarn from a sweater that she had just finished knitting and was wondering what she could make with it. When she saw the hats she...
