Little Hats, Big Hearts . . .

Volunteers for the American Heart Associatio and Mended Little Hearts in West Michigan

are celebrating American Heart Month by knitting red hats

for all babies born in February at participating area hospitals.

We’re raising awareness of heart disease, the number one killer of Americans,

and congenital heart defects, the most common type of birth defect in the country.

so I have been knitting . . .

slow going for me with that bum finger I have on my right hand

(maybe you remember my bird feeder incident)

but I finally figured out a new way to hold and knit

and I am almost finished with number one

hats are to be finished, "turned in" by mid January

several of us Western Michiganders are crocheting or knitting hats for

preemies and newborns

I like thinking about a little one

wearing a cuddly red hat

and

hoping their heart problems are solved and fixed

knitted with love in my heart
