I have machine knit some burial buntings.
More are planned in girl colors.
And I need to do the math for some matching hats.
Betsy shared the idea on her blog and was kind enough
to share more information with me about their dimensions
and gave me the link to a web page .
Now I know this is a sober subject but when she posted on her blog,
I thought, "That is something I can do for my local hospital."
Little did I know that our family would have need of one of these;
delivering their 5 month old pre-born daughter, a little more than a week after Betsy posted.
The funeral is today.
She would fit in the smallest size.
I wasn't able to knit for her
but I can knit to comfort someone else going through this grief.
So knitter, always make time to knit for someone else;
to comfort however you can and to show kindness to the youngest
who are among us for such a brief time.
