I am the lucky person who got to be included in the photo with Elliot…Natasha and John’s beautiful new baby. We, the Saturday morning knitting group, are more than a little delighted that we see Natasha back at knitting entow with Elliot. … we are all the cooing “aunts”. We knit and “beg” to hold the baby. Natasha is so wonderful to share him with us!

September has moved right by me….internet downtime stuff….getting ready for retreat in October…participating in the First Parish Arts and Crafts Festival at St Jerome’s…working on a group knitting project that is nearing completion…exercising the pup Lucy….and the research that I have been doing on the family memoir blog has consumed me. I knew that I had a lot of family history knowledge but had no idea how much and at the same time how many holes there were. Have spent more time talking with my aunts in the last few weeks than I have in many months and, in some cases, years. Great way to reconnect!
And the creativity of the knitting and the bonds of friendship continue. In my next post I am going to share the many connections that we knitters bring to the knitting table….so stay tuned for that. You might find new resources for yourself.
Most recently Nina completed a beautiful tank top that she matched up with black pants to wear to a wedding. Take a look at the work in process and the completed project.

It truly is yikes! I am so use to having internet access and after talking with my provider (AT&T) today it should be back up by Wednesday. Ugh! In the meantime, I’m at Bill’s computer. More photos and descriptions coming soon!
Stay tuned and knit on!

Karen is an enthusiatic knitter and a part of the Friday knitting workshop group. She fell in love with this MaggiKnits design, The Alaca Stole, at this past Stitches West. And now Karen has just finished knitting this design. The Alaca Stole pattern is from MaggiKnts Book #11, Squares and Frills and Karen made the smaller version – same number of squares…just smaller. The stole is knit with MaggiKnits Linen – a 3-ply yarn made up of 52% Cotton and 48% Linen. The color she chose was Natural. Karen sent these wonderful photos.You will also be able to see more photos at Kimberly’s Craftini soon
Don’t both Karen and the stole look stunning!

As I was reading Kimberly’s Craftini this morning I saw the post re: The Colbert Report…knitting…and Chellie Pingree….and North Island Designs. What a coincidence that just this past week one of the knitting group brought Maine Island Classics by Chellie Pingree for show and tell. And I reminded myself that I have one or two of her books in my knitting archives. I chose these books many moons ago because of the warmth of the designs, the writing, the historical background, and the ease of knitting. I have a real love of the country and the designs in Maine Island Classics have great appeal for me…intarsia of sheep, chickens (my whole kitchen is dedicated to chickens and roosters), sailboats, trees, and sailboats. This is complimented with some aran designs. I’m reminded that I still want to knit one of the designs. The question remains…will I live long enough to finish all that my knitting fingers desire. I’m working on it!

Early in the summer Darlis came to our Saturday morning knitting workshop. As she settled in, she brought out her supplies…and she had, and still has, the most unique way for storing stitch markers. You might just like this yourself!
Another use for a stitch holder
