Something Blue

Thank you ALL for the congrats. It's still not real - he surprised the freaking hell out of me. Wedding mania has gone into full swing because we are insane and going to try and plan a 350+ person wedding in 6 months (We are Armenian and Italian, so the guest list gets long, FAST). My previously-married friends have shared a wealth of knowledge (and books! My lord there are a lot of wedding publications out there!), so away we go. All we know so far is 1) it is going to be a traditional Armenian ceremony, 2) it will be in February.



I promise not to inudate this blog with wedding stuff but it is pretty darn exciting for the moment. Does anyone have a suggestion of "something blue" to knit? I was thinking a dainty little hanky knit w/ Alpaca Cloud on size 0 needles, that I can tuck into the dress and use during the day. Any others?

To distract myself, I started the Glorious Colors Afghan because it is huge and mindless. I also picked up the Summer version of Knit.1 @ Joanns after passing over it a few times, and I noticed some designs that I hadn't before (you have to keep refreshing the page to see new designs). The knit dress would ROCK in wool/alpaca for late fall, the little yellow cami is perfect for the beach this summer, and the short-sleeve blouson is just plain Kay-UTE!

Now I have to get into work mode. So hard right now!!!!

Congratulations from me as well! If the wedding is in February, you might knit or crochet yourself a garter in blue - it's something different from the usual satin, and since the wedding is during the wintertime it won't be too hot on your leg! :D

I was going to suggest a garter too! Buy new yarn and not only is it new, it's blue too! Or depending on your dress, you could knit a lace shawl, all white/ivory and edged in blue, or with small blue flowers...or grapes?

Oh, congrats!!! I think maybe knit a little blue hankie from some pure silk - it'll be more useful as an actual hankie. :)
