YARN ALONG AND A BABY SHOWER INVITATION

If I am thinking correctly, said Pooh,
a new baby is probably, undoubtedly
the grandest gift that could ever be.

~ Winnie the Pooh















It's hard to believe as we are just
entering pollen season, but before
we know it the Christmas season
will be upon us and I want to be
ready. This year I am planning on
socks for all those on my gift giving
list so I needed to start early.  One
of the great things about sock knitting
is how portable they are so I have
several pairs on the needles and
am carrying one with me at all times.

I am reading The Book Club for my
book club and while I know many
others like romance books, I do not,
but I am determined to finish this
book before the next meeting.  And
no, I don't recommend it.

As many of you know our Yarn Along
founder and hostess Ginny is expecting
a baby girl this summer and I thought it
would be nice to give back to someone
who gives us all a chance to gather each
week and share our love of knitting and
reading.

While it is not possible to have everyone
here in my home, although that would be
so much fun,  we can do a virtual baby
shower and I am writing to let you know
each of you is invited!!!

The shower will be held on April 20th
so this gives you plenty of time if you
wish to hand make a gift.

On the 20th I will post on my blog to
begin the shower and then you can link
in so we can visit your space, just like
Yarn Along only this time with baby items.
I think we should also have a game or two
with prizes, but more on that later.  For now
I just wanted to let you know about the
shower so you can mark your calender's.
I hope you will join me !

Linking with Ginny

  29. Before celebrate baby shower; we should first send invitations to people (friends & Relatives). But it should be unique and innovative and therefore we used to collect ideas from different sources. Here also we have found that how prepare a baby shower invitation and how to catch the attention of viewers. Thanks for such creative ideas and hope new parents should follow some of the ingredients from here.
