A Co Down woman has shared her passion for knitting by donating a range of jackets, hats and baby blankets to the Neonatal Unit in the Ulster Hospital.
At 83 years of age, Marie Donnelly from Drumaness has been working effortlessly knitting dozens of items in an array of different colours for babies who are born prematurely in the Unit.
Her desire to ‘give something back’ was inspired by the amazing care her grandson’s wife, Laura, received when she unexpectedly gave birth six weeks early to baby Allie Black on 13 December 2016 and spent a period of time in ICU seriously ill in a coma.
