The gift of a crochet blanket

I have previously posted about other ways new babies can be supported, the ones who decide to come early and spend time in NICU units.

I have come across Sands who support families who have lost a baby at any stage a little life, not a little loss. On Facebook they ask for volunteers to crochet or knit blankets that are placed in memory boxes that get given to parents.  

I brought some wool.... 8 ply 100% wool in cream, blue and pink

I enjoy sitting in the sun crocheting and watching how they grow so quickly....

....till the blanket is 24" square

All ready to be posted.....now to start another one with a pink trim.
