ReplyDeleteThank you. This is so beautiful. I shall make these and pop them in with the preemie baby cardigans I knit and send to my local baby unit. Lovely remembrance present for Mommy's purse.
ReplyDeleteThank you again
Christine that is such a lovely thing to do
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I Knit for charity and these will be my next projects, thank you
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy. They would make a perfect keepsake for stillborn babies but also to give as a gift to God Parents. Just the right size for cards too. Well done on your Charity Work. X
