We are asking everyone to buy their own needles (size 4) to help defray the cost of our project. Needles are not expensive-just a few bucks. They can be purchased at:

Rainbow (76th and 1st)

321 Knit (75th between 1st and 2nd, on the north side)

Knit and Stitch (65th and 1st)

We Knit Because We Care is a new GSEC initiative to provide hand-knit hats and blankets to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at New York Presbyterian Hospital. The unit is in dire need to provide the hospital's littlest patients, who are often premature, with hats and blankets to keep them warm while they grow strong and healthy enough to go home.

GSEC has pledged 500 hats and blankets to the NICU, and we'd appreciate your help in reaching our goal!
