I learned of this heart breaking story here. I wanted to show my support so I requested the pattern from Lucinda. A few days later Susan had a drawing for some Blue Sky Cotton yarn and she selected my name to receive a skein. My little birdy is done and he's quite sweet. I just need to package him up and send him on his way which may eventually end up in a hospital pediatric intensive care unit bringing comfort to families who are overwhelmed. Lucinda is trying to get 100 birds knit up by May. I hope she receives more than that!
Would you like to help? I have plenty of the Blue Sky Cotton left over and I would love to pass it along to you if you would like to knit a bird. Go to Lucinda's site and request the pattern. She'll email it to you as well as the address of where to send the bird. If I have more than one taker, I'll have a drawing. Let me know by emailing me by the middle of next week. You can find my address over there to the right of the blog. I would love to "pay it forward".

I was also one of Susan's lucky winners (well, one of Lucinda's, really, as I ended up getting some of her Blue Sky stash). I'm so glad to see this project is really getting out there in the knitting world - I am casting on for my first birdy today and am hoping to get at least two of them out of the yarn Lucinda sent me.
Your birdy is too cute, btw.
I would love to knit one of the little birdies for the flock in memory of the baby I would have had this early April. I'll send an e-mail in a moment.
Thanks for posting about this project. I have my own stash to work from and it seams that Pink Sky would find comfort in knitting a bird for the flock.
good job! the bird is beautiful and so is your son.
