Teta Beck's Knitting Basket

Teta Beck's Knitting Needles


While knitting a hat, Bev's daughter was looking through her Grandmother's (Teta in Arabic) knitting bag, and realized that no one had sorted it out since she died, many years ago. It seemed fitting, just before Christmas to stumble across this lift gift of needles, yarn, patterns, and the many memories related to Teta and her bag.

Teta's bag, was several feet from my great grandfather's Morris chair, next to Grandmother Winnie's sewing kit, with great grandmother Ruth's weaving loom, sharing the room with Uncle Levan's Farm set, Mom's oil painting, Uncle Harold's oil painting, and around the corner from the desk with PopPop's decoy duck... We are surrounded by the gifts our family members shared with both of us, and I'm feeling grateful to live with these things close to me in my life.

Merry Christmas to everyone and many thanks to the warms spirits who continue to share their lives with us.
