Knitting for the NICU
As we've all noticed, it's been getting colder this winter. Winter is the time when the babies in Wellington's NICU need clothing the most, and they are always looking for donations. If you can knit, pick up your needles and knit a piece of clothing for a baby in need! Baby blankets are also needed, you can knit a full blanket (80cm x 80cm) or knit a 10x10cm Peggy square. I've linked some patterns down below, however, feel free to get your own off the internet. Both newborn and premature sizes are needed, and please note that the clothing must be made from 100% wool. This activity can count as a service for DoE or the SVA service award as well. Once you have knitted an item, please drop it off to 22 Grove Road, Kelburn, or post it there. If you have any questions, email me at projecttheraindrop@gmail.com Thank you for your help!
