I know that I’ve been missing in action, and Susan hasn’t been that very visible either.
I leave Washington, DC tomorrow for Boulder, Colorado where my lovely and wonderful daughter (and occasional model) Nora will be married this weekend. I’ve been deep in wedding details these last few weeks. I’ve helped create most of the “paper” for the wedding — programs, menus, place cards, etc. And I’ve knit her a little silk shrug — nothing complicated, just an impromptu pattern. So I apologize that not much has been posted. It’s just that other than the shrug, I haven’t knit much.
I don’t want to share the shrug because she hasn’t seen it, and I don’t even know if it will fit or if she’ll wear it. But here are some quickie photos of one of my swatches:
I do have a new project for the trip, which I hope to share when I return.
P.S. Susan’s deep in wedding planning, too — but I will let her talk about that when she’s ready.
Nupps and beads – I’m sure it will be wonderful!
I know the wedding will be absolutely lovely and the bride will be stunning!
Congratulations to all!

Beautiful swatch.
My first thought was nupps and beads – what’s not to love!

Oh she will be beautiful and may they look as totally happy as my dear Mary and her groom Mike on Aug 19th (my 34th wedding anniversary) on Maui. I made her wedding shawl for the evening (we had as soft sprinkle during the luau/reception and I have a wonderful pic of her before the ceremony with the shawl). Definitely will be an heirloom, but most of all it was total love for everyone. ENJOY! cv

Beautiful swatches! I am think in the wedding planning and shrug finishing for my son’s wedding a week from Saturday. My lace shrug was finished but turned out to need a border to make it long enough for the edge of my future daughter-in-law’s dress to be covered. Mine was of my own design as well. Good luck and congratulations.
