chemotherapy hats: list of links

CHEMO HATS, TURBANS, SCARVES, etc.

Updated 3 May 2005; a collection of links for comfort caps, chemotherapy
hats, and miscellaneous ideas, culled from web searches and posts to
various sewing email lists. In order to cut the bulk a bit, I've
trimmed attributions, but please know that this is really the efforts of
a lot of people. I'm just sort of keeper of the faq here. URLs are in
no particular order within groups.

If you find broken links or more resources, please drop me a note, and
I'll be glad to update this.
