Yes, that's right over 100 fruit and veggie baby hats for the breastfeeding babies at Brockton WIC. We've got pumpkins, apples, eggplants, pineapples, watermelons, peppers, and lemons just to name a few. Each is just as precious and unique as it could be. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for sharing your talent to keep our babies warm and to encourage moms to breastfeed. The picture below is just one knitters contribution. Mary knit 15! gorgeous cotton hats, each with a lady bug button on the stem for good luck.
It's been so exciting to go to work this week and have presents to open everyday. Once again thanks to all for your generosity, to Jeanne at a CA WIC office for the idea and to the Yarn Harlot without which this response would have been impossible.
Oh and here is a picture of the World Breastfeeding Week (month, year, LOL) bulletin board in the waiting room. Think the message comes across?

That's so wonderful!!! I had hoped to get a few hats done for you, but to be honest, I'm usually busy breastfeeding my 4 month old:-)
You just keep breastfeeding. That's the most important thing...knitting will come later :-)
Oh my gosh. That is the coolest thing ever. Beautiful hats and just totally cool. Beautiful.
Hi Ilene, I was delighted to see that the hats came rolling in! It was such a pleasure for me to participate. Send out the word again next year and count me in! Also, your little breastfeeding thank you notes were adorable - - you didn't have to go to the trouble though. Dana
