Dedication outfit

Well I've been working on the dedication outfit. I got the pants done and don't like them. I have created my own pattern. I will have that done today. I'm also going to try to remake the sweater. I'm not happy with it either. The neck is too small. Not sure what went wrong, I think I crochet tighter than the pattern owner. This outfit is a gift and not for charity. I will post pictures when it's finished.
I'm also working on chemo hats. I'm going to use the yarn in the pants and sweater that didn't turn out right. I try to not make the same hat more than twice, in each shipment. I want to give a variety to choose from. I also try to add a couple for kids. I'm also looking for scarf patterns, particularly what is called neck warmers, or trach scarves. People who have a trach has to be very careful when out in cold weather, and dusty dirty areas. When you have a trach you no longer have the same response to remove such things. You actually have a direct route to the lungs. When you breath normally, the cold air is warmed as it passes through your nose, with a trach the air isn't warmed. You know how things fog up when warm and cold air mixes, it does the same thing in your lungs.
This wasn't to be a lesson on trach care that's another blog. I just hope you get an idea why these things are needed.
