i knit for premmy babies

Lorne

Sorry to sound daft (I'm not a knitter) but does the wool need to be a particular type?

MsChazzer

There's a knitting/sewing shop near me that has a poster in the window asking for donations for this purpose, not sure off the top of my head whether it is for a group or an individual knitting.

My son was 3lbs 5 oz born and we bought 3 cardigans for 50p each that some lovely lady like you had knitted. He wore these and babygrows for 2/3 months afterwards.
Thank you, well done and keep it up!

LORNE i use 3ply,4ply and baby soft d.k for clothes,mitts,hats+all other body clothes and d.k mainly for little premmy blankets
rsdiscos it is very hard to get+often far two expensive as it is like my size 8 shoes not the average so the prices rocket my kids are nearly teens+after being so short of cash ( the struggling years ) as i called them 13+1/2 months between my too it was bad enough but these babies need clothes and prems was my target i dont charge at all,it fills the spare time i have+a damned good cause
MWL any colour 3ply,4ply and thin baby soft D.K for clothes, any D.K for blankets if there is anything i can do in return i will help out but many thanks everyone kez xx

Keep up the good work drifter34, I work as a neonatal nursery nurse on a SCBU and we really appreciate all the hand knitted stuff for the babies. They look so adorable in hand knitted things.
I just wanted to say on behalf of all SCBU babies THANK YOU :A

If you look on the Moneysaving OS forum there are a bunch of us who knit also for causes like this...at the mo we are doing premmie hats for Save the Children and www.lovinghands.org.uk may be of help i'm sure they donate wool, needles etc etc
