I LOVE the idea of knitted flowers. I'm sure a lot of your knitting friends would love to contribute a few, if you provided a pattern. I know I would!
ReplyDeleteI pretty much hated this whole process. It was a humongo-ginormous pain in the ass. On the other hand, hopefully you only have to do it once.
ReplyDeleteI would also knit flowers!
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you want a cake-cutting set, I have the one that both Sheena and I used if you want it.... your color scheme is blue, right?
Also (you get to add a check somewhere for this) - did you mail our official invite yet? Because we moved... we should still get it forwarded to our new address, but at what point should I contact you for a replacement?
Our new address, for the record: 36 Park St., Adams, MA 01220
Yay wedding! You're almost there!
