His lungs weren't fully developed. He was in the hospital on Christmas Day, 1991 and when we arrived and went through their scrubbing in process. We immediately saw that EVERY baby had a crocheted red and white hat on their incubator, that some sweet soul had made for all of the NICU babies. I immediately broke down crying and said a prayer for the lady that took the time to make sure every baby received her gift of love! Her kind heart has blessed many. To this day I place that hat on our Christmas tree, to quietly remind me of my gift, my healthy adult son.<br />So this year is my year to pay it forward. Since January 1, 2017 I have been crocheting different sizes of afghans for The Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte, NC.Last count I have 12 afghans finished, three of which are Christmas colors for this year. When I finish the 2 that I have almost finished, I'm going to crochet hats for the month of June, that are for everyday colors, I have 4 made already. Then I'm going to spend July 1st-December 1st, crocheting nothing but hats, hats and more hats, with Christmas colors!! I'll probably do an afghan here and there too, with Christmas colors.<br />Thanks for sharing your pattern.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02887093523114498457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3756304677176001886.post-62443979244265452472016-07-12T15:52:29.055-04:002016-07-12T15:52:29.055-04:00That is fine, please include the website informati...That is fine, please include the website information.

The teaching for the club is charged, but the patterns themselves aren't being sold. Would it be alright if I put your pattern in? I would be happy to include any charity info. I think it would be a good idea to show the kids that they can crochet items to donate and it's a very cute pattern.NatixIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10655173598077331395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3756304677176001886.post-25632256132691839492016-03-07T06:09:36.727-05:002016-03-07T06:09:36.727-05:00yes! of course! best of luck withe the donation s...yes! of course! best of luck withe the donation sale.
