Blog-free Kim came over last night to lend a hand with blocking the wedding shawl. I had soaked it in some Celebrations Soak, then in went the wires. It wasn’t long before we agreed that pinning it on a sheet over a quilt on the hardwood floor was not going to work. It needed the bed, so this morning, the bed it got. I suspect I could block this to be even longer and wider, but my fear of snapping a thread is greater than my desire to block more vigorously. Want some pictures?
Here she is, all stretched out on the bed. There are some wobbly uneven bits, but see what I wrote above about fear of snapping. Here’s a close up.
Don’t you love the way the color undulates? That Scout outdid herself.
I’ve got a jam-packed day, starting with a cut and color with Peter, followed by a bridal luncheon my sister is throwing me at one of my favorite restuarants, then waxing, nails, favor-making, and final house clean up. After the honeymoon I have posts to write about unexpected generosity. There’s a lot of it around, you know, and I was the recipient of some this morning. Thanks, Erin.
I’ll try to pop online to post a wedding picture tomorrow; if not then, I’ll be back on Monday.
Keep those good weather thoughts focussed on Granby, will you? Doesn’t look hopeful for a garden wedding, but, as so many of you noted recently, the most important thing is that Neal and I will be married…doesn’t matter where, right?
Mwah!
Absolutely right. Neal and you will be married. I’ve so enjoyed the prenuptual blogging.
PICTURES PLEASE. When you can.
May the light of a thousand candles
show the way for the journey.
A big congrats to you and yours- I hope your day is wonderful and amazing!
The shawl looks amazing! Congrats again. Wishing you all the best for your marriage =)
I can’t wait to see the pictures!

I am so happy for you both. Have a wonderful time, honey. ♥
Gorgeous shawl! My thoughts will be with you guys! Yay!
Congratulations! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for good weather for you. And… tag, you’re it! Read my blog for details. (After the wedding and honeymoon, that is.) 😉
Blessings on you both as you share this amazing thing called marriage. I hope the day is as wonderful as you are (and the shawl, too – well done!).
It’s beautiful! 🙂
Have a wonderful wonderful day. May your lives be filled with love, happiness and abundance!
Congrats to you and yours! You’ll find that on your wedding day the most important part quickly becomes getting married and the rest is just details including the weather and ack, even the dress…it’s just one day and you will have the rest of your lives together. Much happiness to both of you.
Damn. This just made me teary again. Really. I think this is the most special skein of yarn I’ve ever dyed. I want to see it ON you!

The lime green is awesome. When all the wedding stress is over you should deffinitly get more pictures of the shawl and you with the shawl.
Happy Wedding!
Congrats friend! Much love and happiness to you both!
Aww Bev, I’m so happy for you! The lace looks beautiful and I look forward to wedding pics. All the best to you and Neal as you begin this new journey!
It’s a known fact that rain on your wedding day is a good omen for a long and happy marriage.
You will be lovely and I am SO HAPPY for you!!!
