Want to be a Preemie Protector?

[tlisley]

Thanks for the link. That looks pretty simple to do, I'll give it a try and see how it goes. I looked at some other sites, I guess I missed this hat. It's cute.

So, preemie blankets are really only 12" x 12" ?

 

I have some extra CSS and thought I could make up a few shell stitch blankets.

Yes, Lorraine, some preemie blankets are only 12x12! Doesn't seem possible that a baby could be so tiny, does it? And the 12x12 blankets take no time at all to make. How nice of you to help. (Not that I started the group or anything, but it is nice of you to help...)

Hi Khourtniey, I was reading your post about premie protectors and started on the 4 Square Premie Afghan. So far I have one square done. When finished where do I send to?

The blankies I made are 16x16 and I couldn't believe how tiny they seemed. I've also made a couple of hats but I'm almost afraid to send them because they just look like doll hats.

I hear that! The booties I'm making look like little doll shoes. I about cried making the first pair when I realized a tiny little person would wear them one day!

Khourtniey, today I sent you a package with 10 hats and a small blanket. I hope to be able to do some more soon.

Khourtniey, I'd like to send you some blankets and hats too. My son was born almost 12 years ago when I was only 26 weeks pregnant. He weighed 2 pounds 5 ounces. Now he's doing very well in school and he's just a normal kid, but those first few years were very difficult with worry and appointments and a lot of physical and developmental therapies. I'll PM you to get an address to send the blankets and hats to.

I have a 29 and 27 weeker. You would be amazed at what my 29 weeker looks like. You could never even tell that he was preemie. My 27 weeker has hit a lot of bumps and he is still overcoming his preemie issues but I can understand where you have been. Its amazing what these little people can overcome! I am glad your son is doing well

Khourtniey,

I have a small package to send you. I will be getting it out Monday or Tuesday. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

[coolhockeymom]

seems like a grat project..I pray that it succeeds. I had a preemie born @ 28 weeks and I would have enjoyed receiving something that actually fit him when I took him home.

:clapI just joined Crochetville yesterday, but this is a project near to my heart. My church has a group of us who make things for the local preemie unit here in Forsyth county, Georgia. I care for Kim, a stroke victim, and we have made 10 preemie hats and 11 preemie blankets so far. We started doing this about 4 months ago.Way to go! We'll keep donating here, but would love to be considered part of your group if that's okay.
