Beautiful Bride



So I did it..I knitted a wedding cake, complete with bride and groom. And it was very nearly perfect! I used the Alan Dart pattern from a spring Simply Knitting magazine, and actually followed the directions, made gauge swatches (I know, it was raining frogs) and used the yarn called for. These events will likely never take place again in my lifetime. However, it turned out cute as could be, and I am extremely proud of my little project.

I did omit the edging that goes over the seam between the cake and the plate, but my seam was pretty darn nice, if I do say so myself, and it looked okay without it. I was not excited about knitting about a mile of shell edging and stuffing it as I went, plus I ran out of time.
