The Barnett Knit Blanket was designed by Juuli Miettil in collaboration with Bravery Co. and Slowdown Studio. Bravery Co is a wonderful company founded by two time cancer survivor Emily Somers, who produces artist-designed headscarves for fellow cancer warriors.

Slowdown Studio knit blankets are proudly made in the USA using a high quality and environmentally friendly recycled cotton blend. The blend consists of an 80% cotton and 20% poly blend, which makes our blankets really soft and avoids pilling or bleeding, so you can enjoy them for years to come. They measure 50" x 60" (127cm x 153cm). Care instructions: Cold machine wash on a gentle cycle, and dry on a cool cycle or line dry.

Breast cancer comes in many variations. One of the primary factors in determining the type is the sensitivity of the tumor cells to estrogen. If a breast tumor is estrogen receptor-positive, estrogen transfers a message to the cells to grow. But we can minimize the activation of receptors a few ways....
Patients undergoing chemotherapy need to eat to stay strong. But the drugs can cause nausea and damage taste buds. New flavors and spices can help a lot, a chef says.
Not all chemotherapy drugs cause hair loss, but the ones that do are fairly predictable. If your doctor has told you to expect hair loss, this is what usually happens: One and a half weeks after your first treatment, your scalp may become tender. Some people don't feel this at all, and for others their scalp becomes qu

While visiting with a dear friend who is going through chemotherapy, I asked her if she would like me to make her a head scarf to wear. She said she really would, especially some that were better for the coming warm weather. This reminded me of an excellent story from this podcast: Wigs, Wigouts, and Insurace, in which a woman beautifully and hilariously determines if she is Wig Person or a Scarf Person while going through chemotherapy. It's a great listen. And between it and my friend's request, I was determined to make some cool, ventilated, and not-too-heavy head scarves for my friend. My husband came home when I was finishing these up. I had on this one, and he said, "Oooh. Cool head thingy!" He thought it was a fashion head wrap I had made for myself. And it totally could be! Head scarves are for everyone--whatever our health situation. I found an excellent tutorial from Daydream Believers, but uses a ribbed knit band and silky scarf. This didn't sound very comfortable or breathable for warm weather. So, I made a tutorial that uses thin jersey knit or stretchy lace fabric. I was so happy with the results! To make an Easy Head Scarf, you'll need: 1/2 yard of thin jersey knit or other fabric that stretches in at least one direction. Measuring tape, measuring board and/or ruler. Scissors or rotary-cutter Sewing machine/serger with corresponding thread Directions: 1. Cut the band piece 6 inches x 20.5 inches. The stretch for this piece should be along the length of the cut. 3. Cut the scarf section: 44 inches x 12.5 inches. Stretch can be in either direction here. 4. Fold the scarf section in half along the width. Find the mid-point (6.25") of the width on the open side of the folded fabric. Measure 5 inches straight down each side. Use a ruler or other straight edge to make a straight line from the mid-point to the 5 inch mark on each side. 6. Cut along those lines. If you are using jersey knit, no finishing is required for the edges of the scarf. I decided to sew a thin rolled hem on my lacey fabric to prevent fraying. If you are finishing the edges of your scarf, do so now. Then, set this piece aside. 7. Fold the band piece in half along the width, right sides together. Sew the open edges. (This is a good time to try it on your head. It should fit snug enough to not move, but not too tight. If it is too loose, trim 1/4 inch from the sewn edge, re-stitch, and try again, repeating until the fit is right). 8. Fold the band in half along the length, wrong sides together. 9. Sew that edge up with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. 10. Lay out your scarf piece right side up and find the mid-point along one length. Pin the band's front mid-point (directly opposite the seam) to the mid-point on the scarf piece. 11. Continue to pin the scarf all the way around the base of the band. The right side is inside here, pinned all around the band. Make sure to finish pinning each end of the scarf right at the seam of the band, so the sides will be even. This head scarf shows the pinning process better because of the contrasting fabrics. 12. Sew along the pinned edge, all the way around the band. And you are done! These are such an easy project, and a great item to make as a community service project and donate to cancer centers in your area. I did a simple internet search for "Where to donate to cancer centers" and had several options. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions as you are making these scarves. I'm happy to help! Participating in these link-ups.
