There were 44 entries and I was deeply touched by all of them.

This morning, I asked my husband to pick a number between 1        and 44. He chose ‘20′, which is Barbara Pretsch.

Congratulations, Barbara! I will be sending you an email, requesting your mailing address so that Laurel Hill and Knots of Love can get in touch with you to mail you the compassionate  crochet kit for a chemo cap!

Thank you so much to all the other compassionate crocheters   who responded to this contest!
