Back in April when Royal wedding fever gripped the country I posted about this book & planned to knit my own Royal wedding.
Well as you know it took longer then I thought
I started with the Queen but she was a real labour of love. I finally finished her about 3 weeks ago....
Want to take a closer look?
She was a bit lonely so I had to knit a little corgi!
The detail is amazing but they were very fiddly to make...... I thankfully pinched buttons, beads, pearls etc from my Make, Do and Mend friends otherwise she would have cost a lot to make!
I've been asked to make & sell them but to be honest it would never be worth it..... I'm sure in man hours & material she would come out about £50!!!
Busy week ahead so best get on..... OH's birthday today & D-Day so we're going out this afternoon, something I may regret as I have Make, Do and Mend tomorrow then going to Cheltenham on Wednesday for a training day.
Have a good week
Oh how cute, I haven't seen anyones finished knitted queen and yours looks so good :)Love the wee corgi too and those pearls :)Well done,you have lots of patience :)
