NIN has now grown to 62 chapters in all 50 states and in 2009, they donated 493,207 items to needy babies and their families.

Today's Featured Tip:
When knitting for babies, don't use techniques like 'loopy' knitting. Babies little fingers get caught in the loops.
Attach buttons to baby cardigans with dental floss instead of yarn or thread. The floss is strong enough that babies can't break it.
