Go Panthers!! Knitted Preemie Hats

I'm not a football fan per se but I do sew and/or create

Knitted  Preemie Hats for the local Neo Natal Unit  a lot of while hubby enjoys the games.

And although I go to a Super Sew Party on Super Bowl Sunday with my friends,

I will be checking in on the score from time to time.

I do live in North Carolina you know!

I plan to turn in these hats ASAP so some new Daddy can share his football 

love with a new little one.

Go Panthers!
