I am organizing a little Knit-Together for the Special
Care Baby Unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford
I've started to knit little hats for the babies in SCBU, i'm not that talented when it comes to knitting. I can only manage scarfs and hats! Now it's getting colder i thought it would be a good idea to knit little jumpers, cardigans and hats for the little ones.
As it's Christmas soon, i wanted to do something special for their charity SSNAP
This is a subject very dear to my heart...
My son Finlay was born at 32 weeks, weighing just 3lbs
I had the perfect pregnancy (Or so i thought...) When he was born, there were many complications, some i'd rather not mention.
At one point we thought he wasn't going to make it.
If it wasn't for the help of the midwives, nurses and doctors, he wouldn't be here today.
SSNAP really helped me, and i can't thank them enough for the support they offered me and my partner through a very difficult time.
This is Finlay today...
I am so grateful to everyone who works in SCBU, they really are angels.
I would love and really appreciate it if everyone that follows my page would knit maybe 1 or 2 items (Or donate wool, patterns etc.) that i can take to the unit.
My son has 4 routine check-ups every year and his next one is on Monday 7th November
(So ideally items should be sent to me by 1st November)
If anyone would like to help, please can you send me a PM or leave a post on here so i can contact you with my address to send the hats/clothes too.
I've already started knitting...

This little hat would fit a 24 week old premature baby.
If you would like any links to websites for patterns please let me know :)
I hope everyone can take part, it's such a worthwhile cause
The unit doesn't have money to buy clothes, nappies, sensory toys, blankets etc. They rely on donations and support from the government.
If you would like to donate to the charity there is a link on their website
Thankyou for listening to my story
I hope everyone can help out and keep a little one warm this winter with some handmade knitted items
Love to you all, Jodi xx
