Wow - that was a quickly posted recap of the day!! I had so much fun! The blankets turned out so beautifully, in part due to your wonderful organization and prowess with handstitching. Baby Gleek and Baby MeBeth will be cuddled with love in those blankets!

Sandra and Veronique - WHAT were you talking about in that picture?!

Oh wow - the blankets look fantastic! The backing looks great, dude! It sounds like y'all had a grea ttime.

At that first picture, I thought you were gonna say YOU were pregnant...I'm with you on the baby weirdness. It's so strange when close friends start getting pregnant! But now that my sis and Jenny have them, I'm starting to think I'd like one. In the far, far, FAR future.

I love Sandra, really, I do!
Jess, thanks for taking pics, and for organizing the baby blankets. It's hard work keeping everybody in line

I said it before, and I'll say it again. Beautiful job on the blanket, not just the finishing, but the organizing - it's tough keeping a bunch of opinionated knitters in line. The Kimono sweater is stunning!!

Great pictures, great party.

The photo of Sandra and Veronique is hilarious! Looks like you guys had such fun! Wish there were spiders in Paris. I"m working on a long cabin blankie, too. I love the colors your friend received and the blanket the spiders made is really awesome. Where's the pattern from?

Oh, the blankets look smashing! Thank you so much for wrangling them, Jess!

Sounds like a great time! Great friends and great gifts! The blankets are very pretty. Do you have pictures of the backings you knit? And babies really aren't all that scary! Maybe at first...but after a while, they kind of grow on you!
