BEV'S PREEMIE STORY: There are many tiny, new babies in need of warm hats, booties and blankets. I started making preemie items because my eldest son was born 7 weeks early. Someone knitted a tiny yellow and green hat for him, that I still have. That was many years ago in LaCrosse, WI at LaCrosse Lutheran Hospital, but I have never forgotten how that one little hat, helped me make it through the hours of worry. I was so relieved that someone had made something just for my baby. I knew I had to repay that someday. That's why this website is here.
