First real knitting project

I recently found out that one of my co-worker’s sisters had a bilateral mastectomy. She’s only 21. So, instead of making the baby hat I had planned on doing for my first project , I am making a “chemo cap” for her. I am making it out of “Poof” yarn by Crystal Palace, in Berry Parfait.

Berry Parfait Poof
It’s a soft, microfiber yarn.  It’s kind of hard to work with, as it feels like you’re “knitting with tissues” (as my knitting instructor says). It’s coming together quite quickly. I should be done w/ it by the end of the week/weekend.

I am planning on knitting more chemo type hats and giving them away at the infusion center where I will be getting my Remicade. I’ll post pictures when I finish it.
