Mossy Cottage Knits

Boy/girl? I've got some BSJs lying around my house intended for no particular baby :)

Ouch. That's horrible. I will make something this weekend and send it your way. I seem to make a lot of hats, but I have a ton of yarn so I'd happily make something else at your request.

Oh Ryan, this would be a wonderful thing and I'd love to participate. I'll whip up a hat or two this weekend!

I would absolutely help; in fact I have a couple very nice things around as last-minute baby gifts. (A handspun merino BSJ, blues and greens, and a pair of booties, though they're definitely girly.) Let me know (bonjourlori@gmail.com) where to send and/or what you need.

I've got a couple of pairs of socks all ready to go in the mail...

I can whip up a bib or two in a heartbeat. Let me know where to send.

I've been following this story ever since it broke when he was reported missing. So sad! I will put together something over the weekend to send to her.

What a heartbreaking story. Sometimes life is just not fair! Yes, would be happy to do a baby item.

Thank you so much, everyone! I posted this, left to run an errand with my sister, and was astonished to find seven comments waiting when I got back! BSJ's seem to be the thing, since that's exactly what I have on my needles, one in green and sage.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about the child, so your best bet is to go generic. I'll contact everyone individually with further information.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

I've got a child's placket sweater all done up and waiting for a recipient...

I'll be happy to knit a blanket, something generic, let me know where to send it.

I have a pair of baby socks knit in pastels (wool) from Cat Bordhi's book - the Little Sky Socks. I used them to learn the techniques.
Would be happy to pass them along. Rose

Count me in! Do we know if it's a boy or girl?

I would love to knit something for the baby. My kids and I have been watching that story rather intently. Too close to home...

One thing, Daddy was a TALL basketball player. Newborn size could just be a wink.

Count me in, Ryan. Just let me know the details of how/where to send.

I'd like to contribute, please contact me too.

me too, me too - I've got some lovely green superwash wool just waiting for a baby.

I am knitting things for my sister, and could totally add something to the queue for the soon-to-be-mother.

Absolutely! This is a great idea - just give us an address and you'll be inundated. Harness the power of the knitters!

I always have baby stuff around waiting for recipients so I would love to share.

I have some Mason-Dixon baby bids and burp cloths. Also have a blanket that I was going to give to a local hospital and a matching cap. This seems like a wonderful purpose. Just put out the call.

funny that i was thinking just the same thing yesterday. great minds think alike and all that. count me in!

Of course. MaryB

Of course I'm in - I already have a hat or two, a baby kimono sweater and more than willing to do more!

Hey Ryan - Glad to see you surface (again). Have a great holiday with your family. Just don't get any teeth pulled - ok?

Irina

I'll contribute.

Come on, you KNOW us better than that! Tell us what, when, and where, and we'll get busy ... and that'll be the most "knitting loved" baby around town!

Any special items you'd like us to focus on?

would love to send some hand-knitted goodness too:: what a sad, sad story. will check back on the blog for deets...

hi- count me in. saw the story about him being missing and thought this was alas how it would turn out. will look to the blog for details or email with an address to which to ship some baby things.

of course we will, let us know if she knows the sex of the baby. Andrea

i'm in. tell me what you need.

I'm definitely in.

I've been following the story and just could not imagine what the family is going through. So sad.

Hopefully this will help her know she is not alone.

I'm in... I think my knitting machine wants to make a very simple baby blanket.

Ryan, since the child will be overwhelmed with knitted goods, I'll offer a large crib-size unisex quilt that's only a week away from completion.

Is there something we could do for the mother? Giftcards for a national store chain so we could all contribute? Afterall, babies have to eat even when wrapped in wool. (Perhaps they are setting up some kind of fund?)

Ry, where does the young Maman live? (climate-wise, you know). Could you give us an idea of deadline? I've got commissions on the needles but bought some beautiful soft yarn today with nothing pertickler in mind; it wants to be a little baby wrap, oh yes it does. Tell me when you need it and where it should go, yes? (How sad for the whole family.)

What a terrible story. I have a Baby Kimono that I would like to send along, if you aren't already overrun by BSJs, and would be happy to knit up some booties for the little one. Let me know!

I've got a baby sweater all ready if you tell me where to send it. Poor mamma and baby.

This is a wonderful idea. Based on the previous comments, it sounds like baby will be well-dressed in hand-knits. How about something for the mom-to-be too? I would love to contribute a warm, pretty hand-knit for her. Your thoughts?

I can't manage a knit item now, but I'd be delighted to contribute some flannel blanket goodness.

It is one bizarre news story; I've been following it, too.
