The groom is getting ready to join his bride!

The groom has stepped up to the plate!! He's chose his undergarments and jacket and is deciding on top hats as I type!

Don't they make a lovely couple?!!!

I am really enjoying knitting these little characters! They are nice and simple and getting me very excited about my own wedding!! They are just the icing on the cake..literally! =D

Young Sweetie is Complete!!

I finished Young Sweetie on schedule!! Below are some pictures!! I am so delighted with how she turned out that I can't stop looking at her and picking her up!! I think Fred may be a little jealous!! =D


The chocolate apple and ice cream cone before I sewed them on


Do you think she looks like her pattern companion?

Young Sweetie in all her glory!!

Next on the list of things to knit are a bride and groom!! Another Jean Greenhowe pattern! I am a huge fan of hers!! Patterns are easy to follow and always a joy to knit!!

Jean Greenhowe's Bride and Groom
 This pattern is from the Little Gift Dolls pattern book! I have already started the bride! I have her legs, body and head knitted and stuffed and her face sewn on! I am now knitting her arms! These dolls are much smaller than young sweetie so therefore don't take as long! I hope to finishthe bride within a few weeks and hope to be finished both bride and groom by August...although I refuse to state when in August as you might hold me to it! =D
