Big hugs and sending love to you, wonderful mama 💕 thank you for sharing all of that. Sharing those numbers and connecting with others who've been through the same is invaluable. Looking forward to the blanket release! Also, always and forever OBSESSED with your sizzlepop! Ive added it to my "make this one day when I'm half decent at knitting" list 😂

Thanks Patricia 💜. Also very happy to teach you brioche some time, just let me know 😊

Thank you for sharing. I’m sure it’ll bring a lot of comfort to others who had similar experiences to hear they aren’t alone. Glad your Rainbow Baby blanket has helped, and it looks wonderful!!

[@OliphantKat]

Thank you so much!

[@kelknits]

Thank you for sharing your experience - I agree that it's important that we help raise awareness about pregnancy loss and break the taboo that can be around these conversations. The rainbow baby baby blanket you've created looks beautiful!

[@OliphantKat]

Thanks Kel 💜. Also omg we need to meet up again sometime soon - I realised I never gave you the yarn you won in my giveaway!

[@jancy1609]

Thankyou for sharing your story, sorry that happened to you. I have had three losses and three children so rainbow babies are very special to my heart. I didn’t know about SANDS, and yes people should talk about it more. It would help others. Can’t wait for your blanket release. Thankyou for answering my question, this will be very helpful moving forward with my cotton projects this summer. 😊

[@OliphantKat]

Ah, I'm so sorry for your losses 💜. Hope the summer knitting works out, let me know if you have any more questions!

[@alikelylass134]

Marking my calendar to get the Rainbow Blanket! So sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing. ❤

[@OliphantKat]

Thanks Wendy 💜 And thanks for getting the pattern!

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

Excellent episode! I learned about your channel from KukieKnits. Thanks for sharing your story. 💜

[@OliphantKat]

Ooh exciting, I'll have to say thank you to Ira 😊. No problem, I think it's always helpful to talk about this stuff if you can.

[@skyewatson8247]

Thanks for another great episode. I’m looking forward to seeing your Ayami. I knitted my first Isabell Kraemer pattern recently and I have another 2 in my queue 😊

[@OliphantKat]

Ooh nice, which ones do you have in your queue?

[@skyewatson8247]

Yanis and Dingley Dell 😊

[@FibreBound]

Thank you for bringing awareness to pregnancy loss and I am so sorry that you have been through this again. Your rainbow baby blanket is so pretty!

[@OliphantKat]

Thanks Ally 💜

[@PlatypusKnitting]

Lots of love to you, Kat! Really admire and appreciate your courage and openness and I'm sorry you went through that. The blanket is looking beautiful though!

[@OliphantKat]

Thanks Bobbie 💜💜💜

I'm sorry for your pregnancy losses 💔 and I'm glad you have your daughter. I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant with my first, and am very aware of potential issues. I've been trying not to dwell too much in that side of things, and to enjoy my pregnancy which has been very easy. I feel like I have been seeing a lot about pregnancy loss lately, although that may be the algorithm in action. I will definitely look up SANDS and keep an eye out for the pattern.

[@OliphantKat]

Thanks Rose 💜 Yeah I bet it's either an algorithm thing or it could be that people are making more content about it because it's October (I think technically the whole month is meant to be raising awareness about it). Take care of yourself - it's stressful enough as is, you don't need other things freaking you out! Make sure you take KZbin/social breaks if you're getting inundated with videos/posts about it. So glad for you that it's been easy so far - crossing all my fingers and toes that it's smooth sailing for you!

[@Alithia87]

@@OliphantKat thanks Kat. That could be it about the content, I think what I have seen has mainly been on Instagram.

[@HauteKewture]

Thank you for sharing and for your vulnerability, and I am really sorry for what you went through. It is an incredibly important to talk about women's health issues and I love the initiative.

[@OliphantKat]

Thanks Patricia 💜
