Tiny Beanies For Tiny People

I've been knitting baby beanies for our new born babies in hospitals for going on 3 years now, and love it.

I can knit 3 beanies in 2 days, and get them all stitched up on a Saturday night... then start on another one that night. Over a week, I'll get about 9 beanies knitted and tacked up with pins, and within 2 weeks I'll have a parcel ready to go to a hospital filled with about 20 beanies.

Then? I start over again... the fun part is picking a hospital to send to. Big and major, or small and regional, I send them off to maternity wards all over.

@peekysweets @susiemc I love doing it. And it's nice to make them for someone you don't know.

@mozette That's beautiful. I think it is now one of my favorite random acts of kindness. My mom used to make quilts for foster children. She would also make it for a new baby in the family. When she passed, I sent her quilt tops in progress to my cousin who sews... so she could carry on the tradition. Which she has done. My mom's favorite way of being thanked, was to see the baby with the quilt she had sewn. My mom loved quilt fairs.... she preferred that over selling on etsy because she enjoyed meeting the strangers who bought her items at the fair.
