Chocolate and knitting, of course!

Sarah organized a party tonight so a bunch of us could get together to knit and eat dessert and see our friend Grace who no longer works with us and who is seven months pregnant.

Sarah made salad and pizza so there was a base layer upon which to lay the dessert. Yum!

Amani made indoor s’mores which involved Golden Grahams, mini marshmallows, and gobs and gobs of chocolate. Suzanne made cakey chocolate cookies. Sarah made peach cobbler and fondue. I made chocolate cream puffs. We were very stuffed.

Suzanne taught Amani how to knit. Suzanne is a patient teacher and Amani is a quick student. Hurray for converting the friends!

Grace is nearly halfway done with a baby blanket that she started less than two weeks ago. Crazy pregnant lady! She also looks adorable and hip with her baby bump.

Sarah has a darling and gigantic apartment in Adams Morgan with a view of the Washington Monument. She has a deck with a breeze. She has a roommate with Fraggle Rock dvds. She rocks — as does he. And maybe we’ll all move into her house the next time she invites us over. They can fit another three people, right?

It really was a great night. One of the best I’ve spent in D.C. in a long time.
