Bride(s) and groom!

My good friend Laura (check out her fabulous blog here) is getting married next month :-)  I decided to make a knitted ami bride and groom for a pressie for her and her future hubby. So the story began........

I was really pleased with myself for being totally organised and getting them finished well in advance and here they are:

then, oh no! I found out that Laura's wedding dress is burgundy!!! What was I to do? So I made a new bride and changed the grooms cravat and flower and viola.....

Problem solved :-) I used cream lace for the veil on this one as the knitted one didn't seem right with the dress but I love how they turned out. I couldn't just make a new dress as the bodice part is knitted into the doll so a new one was the only way to go! It means I now have a spare bride sitting on the shelf (literally!) waiting for me to knit her a second husband after being jilted, lol! I will make her a lovely groom and hopefully I can sell them :-)

I made this card too.....

She got the parcel today and I'm really pleased to say she likes them :-)  So that is some of the secret stuff I've been making the last couple of weeks, the rest will appear shortly.
