I've packed this bag three times. The list has changed a little each time but the knitting setup has never changed. One project. Pre-weighed yarn. Pattern saved offline. Those first long hours in the hospital are yours — feeds, quiet, the whole enormous weight of what just happened. Having something on your needles gives your hands somewhere to go while your mind catches up.
