So we've spent months plotting a baby shower for Aubree (technically due at the end of the month, but she's full term). And tonight was the night. Aubree knew we were doing a little thing, but not about the extra surprise we had in store.
In the past few months, 14 knitters knit sections of the Circle of Friends Blanket. At knit night, pieces would be slipped in my bag when her head was turned, or handed off surreptitiously in the coffee shop next door. This weekend, I seamed. And seamed. And wove in ends. And more ends.
The finished project was so worth it!
There were, of course, other knitted gifts. An adorable (matching!) hat.
An ruffly pink hat:
The Baby Surprise Jacket I knit earlier in the year:
An an adorable sewn sleeper gown.
So now the baby is properly outfitted, she can arrive!
Right Aubree?
Coming up in my next post: our Grand Canyon trip in pictures. And: New Knitting Priority List.
