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.
