I have been knitting preemie hats for years to donate to local hospitals. Last Thanksgiving my niece had a set of very premature twins and when I arrived to see them they were wearing my hats! It made it all worthwhile. I can knit a hat in an evening, but they are so heartbreakingly small, it's hard to believe they will fit a baby or even be a little big. Best wishes to your own little miracle. My nieces babies spent three months in the hospital and still have a while to go before they catch up, but so far they are doing well.
