We could learn a lot from crayons:some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names,
and all are different colors....
but they all exist very nicely in the same box.
oh wow... i really wanna do this! me and my twin sister were preemies, so... there's something special about them. =/ i would LOVE to make something... anything in fact... i'll email you.
I've made a teenie preemie hat, the thing is TINY. It takes me a while because I'm using a standard-size pattern on small needles with small yarn, instead of making a smaller pattern. I did a blue one and I'm going to make a pink one. I just have to charge my camera batteries and then I'll take pictures.
__________________ On the needles: Falling Leaves Socks, Punkin Hats, Artful Afgan and another waterlily for a friend of mine (on hold until I feel like working with that yarn again)
In the queue: Jack Skellington baby afghan Finished:Warm Up America Square, Basketweave Baby Blanket (now to ship it), Massachusetts Dishcloth for the Yarn Harlot, Homeless Hat, water bottle cozy
I cant believe it!! More people are making things for preemie projects aylaanne did you join yet or do you just want to make things? Whatever you want to do is fine with me I am just curious.
