Save the children with your knitting skills!

Hi, All

I am currently knitting hats for the Save the children Organisation…here is the website and guidelines

Save the Children

if you like to pitch in and help that would be great :cheering: … those hats are easy to make and it will save those preemie babies out there.

It kind of sad to know that there are about 2 millions of baby who did not make it to this world every year… :waah:

thank u for reading this ! :muah:

[size=2]Mod Squad was here[/size]

That is so sad :pout: I’ll certainly make one, or two, or three…

I can’t knit hats yet… would a blanket be usable? :shrug:
I only know how to knit, CO, BO and purl…

ainee! i just made a baby hat today and didn’t do anything but cast on, knit knit knit, decrease (by knitting two together), and bind off…you have allll the skills necessary to make baby hats! :thumbsup:

i believe anything for the babies to keep them warm would be useful…

I read about this a few weeks ago and I’m definitely making some hats. I also convinced one of my friends to try one of these, and she just learned to knit a few weeks ago! We’re planning another “knitting weekend” soon so I can help her make a hat then. xxx

Ainee, I agree - check out the patterns they have listed in the info on the website. I had never made a hat before either, but the pattern was great and used fairly simple stitches. Definitely a good hat pattern to start with. Good luck! :heart:

Thanks for pitching in … i had completed two hats so far …one i made it with trinity stitches (purple color yarn) and the other (vanilla color) was rice stitches… xxx :x:

okay so i just looked through the PDF again more closely this time. :teehee: the first time i read it, i had the impression that we were supposed to send our hats to the white house and i was thinking…“ummm…i am pretty sure bad things will happen to any package i send to the white house…someone else will have to send it!” :teehee:

yeah i am pretty sure i am on some watch lists but i really am very passive! :roll:

Brenda. :slight_smile: LOL You are welcome to send them to me and I can send them on to the White House.

I sure wish there was another address to send it to. These babies need these hats. I understand why they want us to send them to the WH, and I will send at least one there. (As well as any other hats from anyone who thinks thier package may not be accepted). But I want to send these straight to babies who need them. How many babies are going to be born between now and when the package from the White House gets there?

i think this org will do the distribution to the country that need them… i will not send those letter to the white house… i doubt they will read them though don’t u tink ???

Hello everyone!! :waving:

It is WONDERFUL that you all are participating in this charitable knitting.

I just wanted you to know that we have a Knit A Long going for this - you can find it HERE. Feel free to post how many hats you completed over there, so I can add you to our KH’er Caps to the Capitol Ticker (in my signature).

Happy knitting!! :heart:
