It's all gone

I endeavor to keep this blog primarily about my knitting exploits. However sometimes life and knitting meet in such a way that leaving out one half of the story does not make sense.

In my previous post about the hats I made myself, I failed to mention that I had a specific purpose in mind. Yesterday, I had my head shaved by a lovely lady named Alison. She spent the morning helping to shave about 20 people along with myself. We were shedding our locks for Saint Baldricks - a charity dedicated to raising money for childhood cancer research. My team mates and I have currently raised over $15,000 and are hoping to raise a bit more.

So, the hats are now in constant rotation. However there is a downside to knitted hats on a freshly shaven head - they stick like velcroe. :)

So, I know you wanna see what it looks like.... So here you go....

Here is the link for our St Baldricks Team, Team Thompson. It was such a blast.
