Hi Patti!
Good to have another Patti on board. We were just talking about making chemo caps over on the charity thread. You could give us a few pointers, I'm sure.

Hi Patti! Glad to have you here. You are quite a young grandmom at your age you know. And what I'm truly impressed about is that you crochet not only as a hobby but for a good cause as well. Welcome to the group!

Good morning Patti,
Welcome to the group! I think it is great to be involved in the projects you have!
I have not heard of the scarves for our US troops. Do you send these in care packages, or is there a special group accepting donations?
I look forward to reading more! Thanks!
