Bit of a theme here, following the previous engagement socks post. This time I'm showing a picture of the Wisp shawl that I hastily made myself for my cousin's wedding in Beddgelert, North Wales, which was held on Saturday. The shawl's already on Ravelry, but I wanted to show a picture of it being actually being worn. The Rowan Kidsilk Night was fantastic and kept me warm all afternoon and evening.
The wedding was wonderful. It was sort of a mini-break wedding, really, as many people stayed at the country house where it was held. The evening entertainment included a casino with free play money to gamble away. I managed to lose my £50 on the blackjack table under 10 minutes!
I'll show more pics of fabulous North Wales when I have time. For now, I'll just add one more photo - the wedding present I gave Clare and Ash. It took me several months to make and the design is based on an embroidery by Georgia Willison, the mother of my friend Sarah. I don't know if it was Georgia's design or whether she got it from a pattern, but I think she would have been chuffed to see her work imitated either way. Thanks, Sarah, for your permission to use it.

Oh you look beautiful! So glad the shawl worked out so well.
The sampler present is a treasure.
You look stunning! The shawl is absolutely beautiful. I didn't know you did cross stitch - another multi talented person in our midst.
Wow, all that time - the sampler is a very generous wedding present and so beautiful. And your shawl came out beautiful too - you look great!
The shawl has worked out beautifully, and compliments the dress (and you!) so nicely.
And I am quite speechless at your smapler, its exquisite.
thanks v much for all the lovely comments about this post. the sampler picture doesnt really do it justice but the main thing was that Clare and Ash liked it. if anyone is wondering, by the way, 'Cariad' means love in Welsh.
