Knitting for stillbirths
I love knitting baby gifts for my friends. I’ve had multiple friends recently who have had stillbirths and I’d love to make something for them but I’m not sure what. I used to do sweaters for baby gifts, but I switched to bonnets to be quicker, so I’m not starting as far in advance and I don’t have a project already going. If I had already started something I think I would finish the gift and then give it to them like I had planned originally, but I don’t know if it feels unkind to start a baby gift for a baby that they won’t have to hold. But it also feels unkind to not make them a baby gift just because their baby didn’t live long enough to wear it. I’d love to hear what other people have done, or from anyone who has had a stillbirth themselves and what you would like, though I’m sure it depends on the person. Thank you ❤️
