Inspired by all of the red around me on campus, I decided to take on a project of my own to help raise awareness during the month of February, which is heart disease awareness month. Every year during the month of February, the delivery wing of Ruby Memorial Hospital gives newborns their first item of clothing--a little red hat!
However, the hospital often has trouble getting enough hats for all of the infants. So, I got in contact with Anne Meade and the Sew Crafty Ladies of my church, St. Paul's Methodist, as well as Jennifer Edwards from Hatfield, PA, who are both expert knitters. With their help, I was able to donate about 50 handknit hats to the hospitals "Red Hat Project"! I can't wait to get pictures of what they look like on all the babies :)
