This year, I’m profoundly thankful for my son, James Cormac, who was born at home on Monday, November 24, 2008. He weighed 7 pounds, 14 ounces at birth and is 19.5 inches long.
He already makes an excellent knitwear model. We couldn’t be more delighted with him.

Wow!! Congratulations, he is beautiful! Welcome to the world James!!!
Awwww, he’s adorable! Congratulations!!
Congratulations to you all! Such happy news! Welcome, welcome, little one.
Awwww! Such a great news!! Congratulation to the happy parents!!
Congratulations. He is perfect and beautiful. James is one of my favorite names.
Congratulations on the new addition! We nowawait lots of knit modelling pics.

Congratulations, he is adorable and looks like a sweetie! My father died years ago on November 24, and it always makes me happy to hear of good things happening on that day – it balances out the universe, I think.
I hope your family has a happy holiday season.
Congratulations! What a cutie he is.
He’s beautiful! Congratulations!

Congratulations! Baby boys in handknits are so wonderful. Born at home, too, how fortunate for all of you!
Congratulations on the birth of your boy, he is perfect!

At home – SHAZAM! Congratulations – he’s gorgeous and a whole new chapter begins…. Happy family!!!
He’s beautiful! Congratulations. Much love for you, spouse, and the little guy.
I was lucky to Stumble Upon your blog this morning and saw your beautiful little boy’s picture and had to comment. Congratulations! I love all the stuff you’ve made and I’ll be back frequently for inspiration.
I don’t know why I completely missed your blog updates over the past month — congratulations! James looks adorable and the perfect model for your wooly creations. A happy and cozy new year to the three of you.
Ruth… I am Ryan and Tina’s mom…. and I love to knit! Your work is just amazing (and so is Baby James!). Ryan and Tina were home this weekend and I got Tina started on a scarf…. though I am an unconventional knitter and I probably have ruined her for life.
Do you have any basic instructions for the baby hats? I love to make them… but need some size info. I love the way that you ad lib and create such fun patterns. Hope to see you the next time I’m in the Bay.
Oh, he is adorable! I am very late to this post, but am so happy for you and David – congratulations! Look forward to seeing much more on this knitwear model!
Congratulations (very belatedly)! What a cutie
(and nice hat)
