A while ago I wrote a blog article about how I was going to start knitting hats for preemies (Being Useful). Shortly after moving to Florida, I found a local hospital that even listed on their website that they had volunteer opportunities for people who knit. I left a message for the coordinator and got a call back a few days later. After speaking on the phone for a couple minutes I decided to knit hat and sock sets (something I was told they would be able to use).
Last Thursday, I dropped off my first 2, knit baby sets (each consisting of a hat and matching socks). I included a note asking for feedback so that I know how to proceed. I heard back from them yesterday. They said they liked them and would love to get more. Luckily they don't need preemie ones often, so I've been asked to make them a regular newborn size. I also got the ok to make a few on the larger size (for those rare babies like my son and nephew who have rather large heads).
She even told me that I should look into selling my sets. Hmmmm... have fun and make money in the process. Who doesn't like to do that? Definitely something I will look into further at some point... just not now.
you have a good heart.
