Hand-knit and crocheted hats, free for anyone going through treatment.
Antoinette Salaam lost her mother, Glendra, to ovarian cancer.
Grief needed somewhere to go, so it went into her hands.
She began knitting and crocheting hats for people in chemo: something soft for when treatment takes your hair, and a sign that someone is thinking of you.
Handmade, one at a time. Always free.
Close-fitting and warm.
Light, open, breathable.
Your colors, your style.
Nurses and cancer centers can request a batch for patients with the same form.
Every tap adds one stitch to a scarf everyone who visits is knitting together.
Early signs are easy to miss. If these last for weeks, see a doctor.
Glendra is why we wear teal.
