Update Keeping Busy

So as promised Jerry this is where I’m at with the tiny hats - all wool that friends let me have these will be going to neonatal units at Leicester General and Leicester Royal Hospitals. I can’t volunteer as on 12 week isolation - this keeps me busy and doing a little bit to help. I finished 30yrs last year because of diagnosis and felt really bereft that I wasn’t there to help. Stay safe everyone! We are helping NHS by staying home❤️

You are certainly doing more than your bit Elt. There are many ways we can help and you have found a lovely way of helping, through your skill. I find it so uplifting just looking at your work. I'm picturing all those little, tiny babies who will benefit from your kindness and skill.

Keep knitting and keep safe,

Hi Elt79,

Those are amazing, and not only are they beautiful but poignant as they remind us of all those tiny souls being born into such a dangerous world in crisis. I wish them all well, and I am sure those tiny hats will do so much good. Thanks for the great work you are doing in using a talent to be so helpful for so many. Take care and please stay safe and well.

When I worked there and went over to audit sites I never left neonatal without tears tripping me. Stay savage x

My granddaughter is a third year student midwife so will soon be taking up her placement. I have started knitting little hats for her unit, but would love your pattern

That’s amazing. Well done. My daughter was a nicu baby and I can tell you every bit of support really helps carry those mums and babies through. She’s beside me now and just chirped up “she’s kind”. She’s a big girl now, but when she was born the first thing she wore was a tiny little hat knitted by someone like you. ❤️ A million kisses from both of us xx ❤️

Amazing how these babies fight to survive - used to love to see the photographs outside the neonatal unit when they are ok x

My 5 year old daughter now! I wish you could see. She’s a walking talking prayer.
