NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – “You’re going to make me cry.”
Christine Shively sat on the couch in her office, thinking about how things have changed for her in the last year. Shively is the head of Knots-of-Love, a non-profit organization that knits hats and scarves for cancer patients and anyone else who needs some cheering up. The charity’s still riding the wave after Major League Baseball and “PEOPLE” named Shively one of 30 All-Stars Among Us. Shively represented the Angels at the 2009 All-Star Game.

Knots of Love and Christine Shively Featured on GenerationBig.com
It started with a hand-knit cap that Christine Shively made for her son. One of Shively’s friends, a cancer survivor, said she wished she had a cap like that to cover her bald held when going through chemotherapy. Shively decided to donate that one cap to a charity that distributes caps to people who need them, but she could find no such charity.
“So…I thought, ‘I’ll start my own charity,’” said Shively, of Newport Beach, Ca. The charity Knots of Love was born in 2007. Within weeks of sharing her idea with friends and family, Shively had formed a bold vision.
“When I did my first newspaper interview, I said we would distribute 10,000 caps in our first year,” she said.
Mission accomplished and then some. Knots of Love distributed 12,000 in its first year, and has distributed more than 37,000 caps to date. Knots of Love has partnered with cancer centers in all 50 states and Canada and Mexico, and has established drop-off centers in dozens of locations so volunteers can deliver their creations with ease.

From the editor: “Our Caring & Sharing feature included patterns for two great-looking caps suitable for patients undergoing chemotherapy. They were inspired by Knots-of-Love, a local California charity founded by Christine Shively that has now become a national success with more than 250 volunteers across the country who knit and crochet caps for cancer patients. Christine was recently featured in an online Orange County Register article that shares some great information about Christine and her very worthwhile work for cancer centers and hospitals. I think you’ll find it both interesting and inspiring.”
