Tangelled Angel

We had our regular local knitting group on Tuesday, and both myself and Caroline  (sorry, Ravelry link) had been feverishly working on FO’s for it. 
Why? Because one of our members Marina (oops, another rav link, sorry), who appeared at the previous knitting night, after not attending for a while, was very obviously pregnant and had said that she hoped to make the next one for the last time before having the baby.  We heard she was having a baby boy so both myself and Caroline plotted as we left that night….
Fast forward to Sunday and I suddenly realised I was running out of time fast and had nothing done for her! I cast on for a pair of saartje’s booites but wasn’t getting good gadge- yeah like I usually check gadge with baby booties- i don’t, but it just seemed rather large, so i frogged and cast on for my other regular knit- the seamless circular baby booties- again, they seemed huge so frog frog frog again.
then it hit me- oh yeah! More crochet hearts for baby bunting!

i had some of these done already as was starting to work on stock for my etsy shop, so i just expanded on it. I did 6 hearts only, as I knew they would be enough, and I was still crocheting at lunchtime on Tuesday, and when I came home from work. then the ribbon needed to be sewn on before I left for the group (oh yeah, and change and eat dinner!).
Caroline,  Miss Aine, new member Emma and myself sat chatting and knitting for what seemed like ages, then Marina appeared- Yayy. WE actually had started to think she wasn’t going to make it.

Caroline had made a lovely soft and snuggly baby jacket- apparently she was doing a bit of what I was doing before the meeting- desperately trying to get it finished before coming down to the meeting. All in all, I think Marina rather liked her mini baby shower!
