Knitting to Overcome Grief.

For each child I have had, knitting their blanket has been an important part of welcoming them.

Blankie for a miscarried baby.

I wove all my love and hope for them into a poem of soft yarn and colourways.

A flower of silk wool and thread with soft mohair yarn

When I had a miscarriage all my friends and family were sad with us and very supportive. I am grateful for this; but am also a very private person and didn't really want to show my feelings or discuss them with anyone.

I imagined the most peaceful and beautiful image I could.

I moved on but was stuck with this lump in my throat that I couldn't explain...I decided to knit this lost baby a blanket, to mentally wrap it up in all the love and peace I could imagine.

I set the lotus flower on silk leaves and stem.

I didn't really know what to say...but I DID know how it should look and feel.

I knitted in highlights of silken thread.

The project was never finished, much like the baby, but enough of it was done for me to get whatever it was, off my chest -and find peace.

The blanket was not finished but still did the job.
