    I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful lens. I am always looking for ways that I can help do something for others (with my limited free time). I love to knit, but really do it for the joy of it and rarely for any practical purpose. My family is not going to tolerate one more homemade scarf - so this is perfect!

    Such a great idea, to make these for cancer patients. I really want to start knitting again, I needed this inspiration :)
