And Finally The Queen.......


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
