Lapgans for cancer patients

[dorothysgirls]

We have a group in town that helps women pay for mamograms. They also help with wigs and hats for cancer patients. Recently they helped me pay for the tests that I needed to have. I was wondering if any of you wonderful villers would like to help me make lapgans and hats to give to them. When I asked them what size they needed I was told that people come in all shapes and sizes, andy size blanket would be great. Any help would be great!! Thank you!!

Umm, how many blankets do you need?

I have a few extras & would consider donating them.

I will take any blankets that I can give them, they try to make sure that all people have a lapgan to take with them when they go for their treatments. A lot of the treatment rooms are cold. I am working on the 5th one so far. Thank you for offering to help.

[hockeymomcrochets]

You are always so giving, I'm happy to be able to give to you for a charity for once. I hope you get alot of responses as the summer ends and the school years has people's lives settling down and in for crocheting. (HUGS)

Mary thank you for helping with this project!!!!

I'm in- I just have a couple of questions if you can help;

 

Do the lapghans stay at the hospital and are re-used (need to be darker and sturdy)? Or are they for individuals to keep (maybe a little more decorative)?

 

Also, do you have color or yarn preferences? I have never made a lapghan only afghans, can you give me an approximate size for a typical lapghan?

 

And one last one for you, sorry. Is this ongoing or is there a time frame?

 

It's starting to cool off so this is the perfect time for this project. I will PM when I get a couple together.

[dorothysgirls]

The blankets are for individuals, they can be any color any size as decorative or as plain as you would like to make them. I think that acrylic yarn would be best as it is easier to wash and care for. Lapgans that I have done have been all sizes. baby blanket sizes are usually good. 36 X 36, up to 45 X 45. cheryl at Wyoming angels said that all sizes are good as people come in diffrent shapes and sizes. If you have any more questions please ask. I hope this helps.

I forgot to answer your last question this is a ongoing project.

[jessicagil]

I'd love to help once I get some of my other projects done. My grandmas oncologists office was always cold because of the radiation. If I thought of it then I would have made her a lapghan. I'll get back to you though.

[terrijo]

This is a good charity. You are always thinking of and helping others.

I have 2 lapghans finished and ready to send.

[Around74]

[dorothysgirls]

I sent my address to every one that asked!!! Thank you for your help!

Hmm, 36 X 36...sounds like that extra big granny square I've always wanted to try. And a great way to use up stash, too. Count me in!

 

I will pm for your address when I have it completed. Probably in a month or so.
