Journal to a Muse

If the need should arise for a chemo cap, I thought I'd want to make one of my own. As my DS pointed out, I may prefer cotton, because of the Texas heat, but for right now, I went solely for looks. (Painter Woman, thy name is Vanity) I plan to do a felted flapper type hat, but knit double with the Firenze to increase the cheerfulness quotient.

At this point I wanted such a cap to include PINK... I haven't always been a pink kind of gal, but since it has been adopted as THE color for breast cancer ribbons, and since that's the only reason I'd need a cap anyway... there you go.

This doesn't look so pink, does it...
I could use the white cascade and the pinker Firenze, and then use the pink and blue Firenze with the Schaparelli Pink Tweed.



This one is definitely pink and cheery, too. It reminds me of chain mail that knights wore before they actually had helmets. In Texas, many big-haired women also have HELMET hair... so this would be OK.
You can see it in context at this blog.

Or for something cheery and NOT pink, maybe something like this

Irish wigs can be found here.

Or, I might go bare-naked and draw pictures on my head with markers. Stay tuned.
