Elder Son called last night to tell us that they had lost the baby. I immediately cast on a scarf for
Amanda with some wonderfully soft and colorful yarn that I bought earlier this week to make something for the baby. Today I send her a shawl that I made a couple years ago because it will take a week or two to finish the scarf. ES said she has been covered with dogs all day — they know she is sad.

Knitting. It’s what we do to comfort others and ourselves.

I have closed the comments on this post because I am afraid your sympathies will make me cry.
