Knit Your Own Royal Wedding

I know there's a lot of excitement and anticipation about the upcoming royal wedding amongst my friends at home and throughout the Commonwealth, even though we will have to get up at 3 a.m.! but thank you Britain for thinking of this!

You can knit your own royal wedding, with the Royal Family, William and Kate, a corgi, a footman and the Archibishop of Canterbury! This book is already a best-seller and I suspect will become a collector's item.

Adorable Stitch Markers

I said I'd be posting about things I love and things on my wish-list. Well, here's one I own and absolutely love. These adorable stitch markers are from an Etsy shop called scarymerry, http://www.scarymerry.etsy.com/. I also have sheep and I've just ordered sock monkeys. Isn't it amazing how addictive stitch markers can be, as if I don't already have enough!
