This delivery will have to go through the Postal Service. No GYN is needed. Just a box and some tape. Address label is also necessary. The box is stuffed and ready to go. It has Preemie blankets, cuddle sacs and matching hats, demise gowns and matching hats, and hats, lots of hats. By the time I filled the box, my container of crocheted things was just about empty. This delivery is going to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Pa. My next job is to go into mass production again!
New hat tomorrow!

Welcome to my new site. I have started a new project, making hats, blankets and some clothing for the Preemies in the NICU. They are in need of hats to keep their body heat in, blankets to help the parents feel more comfortable with this tiny person that is here too early, and clothing that is made in their hard to find sizes. All the patterns are designed by me. If you like them and use them frequently, enter a donation. All money will be used on the babies. Thank you for visiting.

Hat
Here is a picture of the latest hats I have made. I add buttons and different things. There is a button in the center of the flower to set it off. The curley cue hat is the rose colored one in the right corner. It is easy to do. The yarns now a days must be seen and felt to see if they are 4 ply, 3 ply or sport, or baby yarn. They now use # 1, 2, 3, 4. I like the 2 & 3, for all my projects but some are listed as # (sport) and they are really 4 (worsted). Not complaining because I will use it anyway!

Curly cues
I was experimenting with different embellishments on the hats and did curly cues on the top. I chained 20 and attached the chain to the top of the hat, then chained 20 more. I put 3 sc in each ch on both ends of the chain. It curled by its self. If you don't want a curl you can unravel it to give it a different design. Make at least 4 of these for the top of the hat. Will post a pix.
