Forget the sweater...do the kimonos!

I received a baby shower invite for my 53 year old friend( yes, really) that had twins. So, right then and there walked downtown and got yarn to make the Mason Dixon baby kimonos. http://masondixonkal.blogspot.com/ Started the purple one but it looks very small. I just looked at a knitter review and it said they run very small so maybe it was not my gauge dilemma again?I really tried to figure out the" gauge "thing . Even went to Babies R US today to measure the baby stuff to see if it was just my imagination. Maybe I forget how small babies are? . I didn't forget..it is looking very small..even so, I will finish it just for practice. I need to get these done by Oct 18th..maybe?
