dogs in wedding- hilarious

Carmella -the bride..
Buddy's outfit modeled by Carmela (adustable velcro will make it fit chubby Buddy)





My daughter is having her pug and Buddy in the wedding party , AUGUST 16TH. My step- grandchildren will walk them in the procession to the ceremony.
She is getting marrried right here on the river with no church so ideal for the dogs. My mother is somewhat shocked about the whole idea of having dogs in a ceremony with no priest . I love it!

lace present and future projects

These rubber holders have prevented lost stitches . They were only 25 cents at LYS. What a lace saver!
This came in mail this week to be used for Secret Stole 3 starting August 15th..Sarah's Yarns arrived only 3 days after order! This store is one of my favorites along with Knit Picks. The theme of this stole is pale colors so this is a pretty pale pink called Lady Slipper .. The beads match perfectly but might not show up. After I do a swatch we will see.. it may need some contrasting silver ones from stash.. but ..................

No time to start this until Goddess Mystery is done..

Clue 4 is taking forever and very challenging. 2 rows take one hour! Counting after each section makes it go slower but is much safer that way avoiding major mistakes.

crappy picture ----very hard to take pictures of circular shawls.

I was wondering how you wear a circular shawl? do you fold one end?

My goal is to get this done before August 15th but not sure if it will be feasible with wedding cleaning and details but will strive for it anyways.

The last clue seems complicated with making the border using dpn's or something .I will have to research this in all the past emails in group or over at Raverly
