A couple of weeks ago, she graduated from law school. Here she is in her cap:

Here we are at knitting night on Wednesday:

(Marjorie, Becky, Me, Mom, Tonya.)
It’s extra nice to have her here RIGHT NOW. Nate and I found out that we’re having a baby!! And having my whole family together right now is SO COOL. We’ve been knitting a lot together (Tonnie crochets) and talking about baby stuff. It’s amazing.
She leaves on Tuesday already, and I can’t believe her trip is almost over!!

Stefanie, this is such wonderful news! Perhaps this will inspire a whole new line of Glampyre baby knits?

[…] Like most people who read Glampyre, I was really happy to hear Stefanie Japel’s recent news. I was equally happy to hear that her next-next book won’t be about baby knits. Clearly, babies do not require a constant fix of raglan minisweaters in the same way that I do. Glampyre Knits, I need you more than babies need you. […]
