Doesn't this just make you smile?
Thanks to Needleprint blog for introducing this new book to me!
Knit Your Own Royal Wedding by Fiona Gable is a delight for the senses and for your funny bone.
I absolutely love the zaniness of a knitted royal wedding party...
It's one of the most creative ways to commemorate the big event that I've seen.
And it truly tickles my funny bone...though I really have no desire to actually knit the royal wedding party myself.
That being said, you corgi lovers might be tempted to knit a miniature version of your pooches...
Fiona Gable has a great sense of humor and is famous for her knitted holy family published in Knitivity as well as a book of knitted monsters. She cracks me up.
She even includes a knitted spoof on the famous engagement picture...
I think she nailed the famous wrap on Kate's dress.
And just to make you smile even more and send you into your weekend just a bit on a light note...
Take a couple of minutes and watch this video put out by the publisher Ivy Press (you'll be happy to know that the corgis are prominently featured -- turn up your volume)...
Happy happy weekend everyone!!

Happy weekend to you too!! I saw that pamphlet somewhere else. Its so cool and EVERYTHING is so Royal Wedding everywhere you go. Fiona Gable certainly does have the skill to put her imagination into 3-D.

What a riot! I love those Corgis, and wish I could knit so I could do Molly and Morris for Gerry! :-) Thanks for adding some levity into this pre-Adventure madness! Hugs, Cathy
That's fabulous!
Fabulous post!
It certainly made me smile!
What talent and that's just the publishers LOL!
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend!

This was MARVELOUS! I just learned to knit, but don't have the skills to make these yet. LOVED the animation by the publishers (shared it on my Facebook page).
Cheerio,

I saw this too! I love the Queen with her ever present purse! Don't you have to wonder what she keeps in there....maybe a small needlework project to work on?

That's hillarious and a lot of fiddley knitting :)
This post brought a big smile on my face! Thanks for letting me start the weekend this way.
I liked so much that I shared it on FB, and gave you the credit.
Susan, this was wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
Ok, I'm all for being silly but really! haven't we all gone just a wee bit overboard on this royal wedding business??
or am I being a what's all this then, no, no! that's too silly!- fussy pants?
my funny bone is done tickled!! the corgi's are fab!
thank you susan!
Oh my goodness! I saw Needleprint's post about this book, too. Thanks for the addition of the video. That clip is so funny! Very Wallace and Grommit-ish... :)
I just picked up a ton of knitting books at the Borders closing nearby, but didn't see this one. It must be the weather. All this cold, and wet. And you know, in another two weeks it will be beautiful and everyone is going to want to pack up their knitting until October!
What fun, though! Fiona must be a hoot, don't you think?
Hope you are having a great time getting ready for your big adventure!
Take care - :)
a royal wave to you Susan.
that was the best way ever to start my weekend, i just cracked upover the video, thankx.
Hahaha! I loved the video! How cute and funny!
how fun is that... I love love love the corgi....hehehe!
Some silly fun is most welcome in this crazy world! This is hilarious...in a very sweet way.
Besides the talent a good moment, thank you for this happy "break"!
Beautiful day

I am laughing out loud! This is priceless - although there IS NOT enough time in my world to ever knit the Royal wedding - I think it is the cutest thing yet!
(I scheduled myself off from work that day so that I can sit glued to the TV all day - I dont want to miss a thing!)
Vicki
