Lapghans/scarves for Traumatic Brain Injury Survivors

[dancinghook]

Hi Kathy,

 

I went upstairs looking for more yarn and there was another completed lapghan, and two nearly completed ones. So I may get another box out to you the end of next week after all.

 

I hope the vacuum pump is doing its job for Tim.

Hi Lori

 

The scarves are BEAUTIFUL! I think the largest one will be perfect for the neck and shoulders of someone.

 

Thank you so much!

[jossmom]

I'm glad you like them. I made them out of scraps left over from other projects and didn't know what I was going to do with them. I'm happy to know they're going to a good cause.

Kathy,

Are still in need of scarves? I would love to help. How long would you like them to be? Please let me know if I can help

Hi Tammy

 

We can use some wide scarves, as for the length, think of an adult sitting down, and go from there. I don't have measurements, I just kind of wing it.

 

I mentioned to the Rec Therapist today what I have for them, and she was really thrilled. Some patients that are able to go on outings have no warm winter gear, so the hats and scarves and lapghans will really be of help.

Kathy,

 

Thank you. I have some wonderful Navy Blue Caron that I'll whip up a few scarves for you. I'll make them approx. 8 to 10 inches wide. I even have some pink if you think there is a need for a few more feminine scarves or maybe a shawl. PM me you address and I'll try to have atleast a couple in the mail by Monday. Keep up th egreat work:clap .

[dancinghook]

I don't think I've achieved that ability yet. But it has been awhile since I've seen some of these projects. I love sending things where I know they will be used.

 

Have a great weekend!!

If anyone will be needing my address this week, please PM me by Tuesday, I'm going to be getting a bit of a break and heading out of town on Wednesday, but don't fear, my hook will be flying with me, I checked TSA and the hook can come with me on the plane.

Kathy, When will you be back? I have a package to mail, but don't want it to be sent back to me.

 

Can we post pictures of what we're sending?

[losingmymind2]

Hi Lisa

I wish I was in San Antonio.

Here's what I'm sending:

 

 

 

It started out in life as an Aghan, but got lost for a few years.. I have no interest in finishing it now, so I thought it might work well as a Lapghan.

 

I will try to mail it today.

Lisa the colors are beautiful:yay It will be perfect for the patients at Hartwych:yes

[dancinghook]

Hi Kathy,

 

I just wanted to alert:cheer you that a box was mailed yesterday. As with the other boxes, I did the afgans and lapghans and my daughter did the scarves.

 

I hope you had nice holidays.

 

Marcie

[losingmymind2]

Thanks Marcie!

 

I think I survived, will let you know after New Years!

 

Hugs

[losingmymind2]

You must live by the central post office, Marcie. Your box got here yesterday in record time. I was down with my fibro, or would have told you. Thank you and your daughter so much.

Have a Happy New Year!

[dancinghook]

I'm so glad the box got there before the new year. I guess I just timed my trip to the postoffice just right. I use a small village postoffice mostly or a tourist area postoffice. Laurie has a couple more scarves underway, but I've taken some time off to work on some gifts for family.

 

I hope you are feeling much better.

 

Marcie:yay

[dancinghook]

I guess I just got to the post office at the right time. We use a post office in a small village. I'm glad it got to you quickly.

 

A Happy New Year to you too. I hope Tim continues to improve after the surgery.

Kathy! I am still alive, I swear! I have not crocheted a thing in months, due to the problems with my hand joints and the fact that I am on fourth tooth that needed to be fixed...two root canals, four crowns...ugh. 3/4 of the way thru now. Throw in the usual wintertime sicknesses coming and going through the house and it's been unreal!

 

I have NOT forgotten the lapghan. In fact I have some time this afternoon carved out to sit down and try to see if I remember how to crochet!

 

I am determined to get it finished and sent to you...I hope it's not too late.

 

Sorry for it taking so long, I am so

 

hugs

Hi Ro

 

Sadly it's not too late, we keep having new TBI patients come in. I wish we could say that there was a cure for brain damaging illness and injury; but as you know, it doesn't have the 'big name value' of someone getting funding for us yet.

 

I can understand about your hands, and I don't know how anyone can crochet with a pounding tooth/face/head after that kind of dental work. I'd just be hibernating until the next appointment.

 

{gentle hugs} (my fibro's flared up too)

[Lisaizme]

Kathy,

 

I finally got the lapghan I promised into the mail today. Sorry it took so long.

[Ro]

Hi Kathy! Just wanted to say hi and bump this back up perhaps more people will want to contribute...did you get the blankie?

 

Hi crochetville!!!

 

hugs

Ro

[losingmymind2]

Hi Ro, yes, I did get the blankie; didn't you get my email??? Ack, yahoo! I'll email you again. Been working on some mittens, hats and scarves since it's COLD we don't want the patients getting chilled when they go out.
