Knitters for Obama!

This knitter tries not to mix politics and knitting outside of on Ravelry - heehee, but Ravelry led me to the Knitters for Obama group. One of the group's ideas is to knit/crochet hats for preemie babies and donate them to local hospitals/shelters. The hats are donated the week of the particular primary- for example, last week I mailed off hats to Indiana so that they could be donated to hospitals in Indiana for this upcoming primary on May 6. These are four of the hats I've completed so far- the two light blue/red/white hats and the red/white/dark blue hat 2nd from the left have been mailed to Indiana. The last hat (first one on the left) is being mailed to West Virginia along with two other hats I haven't photographed yet for next week's primary.
I have been knitting up a storm with these preemie hats- they are super quick to knit and the only pain is seaming them. Must learn magic loop, 'cause DPNs suck.
