A Surprise Visit

Posted in knitting, tagged , , on January 30, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Last Saturday our knitting workshop was already pretty animated when Natasha and Elliot arrived. Now you might remember that Natasha had a baby a few months ago…and we were all so excited for her. Natasha, an avid knitter,  was able to knit for a few minutes while we all took turns holding her lovely baby boy. I might add that I had too much fun holding him…before I “handed” him off to other knitting “Aunties”.

All babies are a special joy…Elliot feels extra special because his parents waited a long time for him. He is really lovely…his smile for his mother makes your heart melt.

We will teach Elliot how to knit soon…just as soon as he has his walking shoes on.

A baby has arrived!

Natasha’s mother sent this exciting news flash…….

“Natasha and John’s baby was born this afternoon at 2:45 p.m.  He was 7 lbs 9 oz, 20 inches long.  He has black hair and dark eyes.  When I left the hospital this evening, he still didn’t  have a name.”

It seems that we just had the baby shower and I am still posting photos from that wonderful event.

Natasha - just 2 days ago!

Here is a photo, taken two days ago, that may be some of Natasha’s last knitting for just a spell…..and the other photo is that of proud Grandma Jen displaying her just completed blanket for her 1st grandchild.

Let’s skip ahead to the Saturday group

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on May 20, 2009| Leave a Comment »

So many things to share and some recent happenings make me want to skip ahead to the Saturday group for this post. Natasha and her husband John are expecting their first baby in July. She is busily preparing for this happy event which, of course, includes knitting. When she announced her pregnancy in January by showing a baby blanket, we were so excited for her. This child-in-the-making immediately had numerous “aunts and grandmothers”. Natasha bought the yarn, Araucania’s Nature Cotton,  (when Skein Lane retail closed) in hopes of knitting for a baby – her baby. Finally she just began…and then she was delighted to share that she is “with child”.  She is also knitting an Annie Scarf Stole for use during her pregnancy and for her nursing days ahead. She has just completed a baby boy sweater –  yes, it’s a boy!

Later I will post about Natasha’s mother, Jen. She has such an interesting family history that she has researched and ultimately written a book about her travels. Stay tuned for more on this topic.

By the way, Natasha is another prolific knitter..and you will see more of her works here.
