not enough sizes

I started crocheting hats for hats of love when I was asked to teach a class on crochet, and stayed with the local group until the switched to making lap robes. I work in the car and waiting rooms and lap robes were too large and awkward for that so I left the group. My hands were also getting too bad with arthritis to handle the crochet hooks, and I remembered the round loom my grandmother used when I was a young child I'm 80 now and yes, they have been around that long. I found a set at Hobby Lobby and tried them. They are much easier to use although I did get a latch hook with a large rubber handle, which my husband modified with a hook after removing the original latch hook end. Then I started wondering what to do with the hats so I contacted the local cancer center and they were glad to take all I could make. I made some with the regular brim until the admin. of the chemo center called asking for something lighter and long enough to roll up for a beanie, but that could be unrolled down over their ears for sleeping. Then when talking to people I learned that the large yellow ring was just too large and the next smaller size was a little tight I never realized that their heads were just so very sensitive. I had one made that was in between the two sizes that worked just perfectly. What would be nice if there was one that was available for anyone in more sizes [it isn't everyone who has a son that is an engineer with a large machine shop.
The picture is the love of my life and the reason I don't knit in the house.
