I don’t know if any of you remember the Chinese Baby Jacket project from last fall?
This is in one of the small Vogue On The Go books - Baby Gifts 2, maybe? I fell in love with this pattern and had to go out and make it even though I had absolutely no one in mind for it. It is about 90% done, fronts and back, need s d to be seamed and the decorative border knit on. It’s been pinned on the blocking board for 6 months (?!?!)
When it was almost done (last September), I found out that the recently-married receptionist’s wife was just barely pregnant. He didn’t even tell us he was getting married; he just came back from vacation with a ring on his finger. Anyway, it was in a personal email on the computer screen down at the Front Desk ; I shouldn’t have looked, but I did. He’s a martial arts teacher and has his own business, as well as his day job, so the baby jacket would be perfect. Plus, he’s taken several trips to the Far East and is fascinated with Asian culture. I didn’t know about the baby or who the jacket would be for, when I started it, I just loved the pattern. I waited for him to make an announcement but he never did. I figured since it was so early, she might have miscarried, and I didn’t want to ask if he and his new wife were planning on children, if they had, in fact, just lost a baby.
Well, Mr. Surprise is now out for 2 weeks . He called in on Monday because his wife WAS IN LABOR!! I haven’t heard the details, other than they knew beforehand it is a boy.
So, I guess I better finish that jacket . DD found the book, because she’s making something else out of it. That cheeky b*****d, keeping that news from a bunch of working moms who usually go all nutso over babies. Yeah, no surprise he kept it a surprise, eh?
WHEEEEEE! !!!!! Baby!!!
