Have I mentioned that my partner's nephew is getting married in the UK next week, and my hub, T and R are going to the wedding and doing a bit of sightseeing for 10 days? Not long enough, but it's all the time J could take off work. I'm staying home with baby L, I don't think the world of international air travel (18 hour flight) is quite ready for her. And to be honest... well, let's just say I'm a homebody.
It's going to be a posh wedding- and while T isn't going to be in the bridal party, she still needs to look nice. I was going to buy her a couple of new dresses (there's the wedding itself, and also some dinner thingy the night before), but a colleague happened to bring me a box of hand-me-downs with the two perfect dresses in it! All the one for the wedding needed was a shrug (something I swore I'd never knit- ha!) to cover miss T's shoulders. I surfed around looking for a pattern, and didn't find anything I loved, so i decided to make the Branching Out scarf into a shrug. I love lace that looks like leaves! Knit up in soy/bamboo that I got on clearance the end of last summer for $1.00 a ball, I am really pleased with the result.
Awww... She looks gorgeous! The shrug looks perfect on her. :)

Wow! That is just the perfect shrug for little Miss T.
Have a great time over here, I hope we manage some sunshine for you, the weather's been very mixed of late, sunny days, showery days.
