My origins are from a family of scientists. For much of my life, I could not even imagine that I would do anything different with my life than science.
My PhD degree in Chemistry is from Kiev State University. I was a successful researcher of nuclear chemistry, working on the consequences
of the Chernobyl catastrophe, and in my career traveled around the world, learning different cultures.
I became a United States Citizen and live in Missouri with my husband, two cats, and my knitting passion. That's how Natalia's Knitting - my small business - was born!
In an era of mass-production when people cannot find something special, my pieces are unique. Positive feedback from my customers tells me that uniqueness is extremely appreciated. Patrons continually exclaim how happy they are wearing my creations! They report many compliments and express how special they feel. Such feedback always invigorates me to create
yet more interesting and unusual projects that make people happy.
For creations that are different and varied, including feminine shawls, ponchos, vests, snoods, dusters, cardigans, hats, scarves, sweaters, tops, dresses, and covers please go to:

Special acknowledgement to my "silent" partner-husband Brian who supports me in everything.
