Why We Knit

Over time we have met parents whose children have received Project Linus blankets. Their stories are so moving. One woman told us of going into the preemie nursery where her three-month-early twin boys were both in incubators, along with a number of other at-risk babies. Each incubator had a Project Linus blanket covering it, keeping the harsh overhead lights from the babies’ eyes, and lending an air of comfort and softness to that sterile, harsh environment.

Those twin boys are now in their teens, healthy, and eagerly preparing for the world. When she sends them out into that world, they will go armed with their Project Linus blankets.
