'I've never seen hats this great..."

On Sept. 20, 2017, we dropped off 100 hats at the University of Minnesota Cancer Center. As the staff looked through the boxes of items we brought, one said she had been there for 28 years. "I've never seen hats this great!" she praised.

"These are outstanding," exclaimed another staff member.

Before we dropped off the items, Amy and I grabbed the chance to visit fellow Team Yarn member, JoAnna Keocher, who was waiting for her second round of chemotherapy to begin to treat the leukemia she was diagnosed with in August. As we walked in, she put down her loom, eager to look through the batch of new yarn we had brought her to work with.

As we walked away, this staff member was already beginning to distribute hats to the patients on the floor.
