Knitting In Public

At our Monday knitting group on October 8, we had a surprise baby shower for Aimee and her soon-to-be-born daughter. (Mega ultrasounds have confirmed it’s a girl.)

I’m a terrible photo-historian. I got so excited to see what everyone gave her/them, I forgot to take photos!

Valerie made these wonderful mohair booties…

We had lots of fun and laughter. It was hard to take photos since the Caribou is so full of windows!

We even hijacked these two ladies:

Heidi and Jill (or Jill and Heidi?) - wonderful women who unwittingly chose “our” Caribou to sit and knit on Monday at 1:00…. Lynn invited herself to join them and explained they were being absorbed into our group and our baby shower by virtue of being knitters in the wrong right place at the wrong right time.

Since Aimee’s been on bed rest, she’s been getting some serious knitting done. (I’m not sure how she is able to knit laying down - I sure have trouble with that!) She decided to try Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Baby Surprise Jacket:

Can you believe it’s her first BSJ? Isn’t it beautiful?! What a lucky baby to wear this gorgeous sweater.

Aimee also received gifts from Lynn (lots of gifts from Lynn!) and Angel, and there were several “big sister” gifts for Shelby when she arrived with Dad. (Again, apologies for lack of photos!)
