Wedding Wear

My sister Jill asked me to make a One Skein Wonder for her as a bridesmaid, to wear in her friends wedding. I am also making on for the bride to wear as well. It is a formal black and white wedding with silver accents, so I choose some yarn with a tiny silver thread, that doesn't photograph well. My sister had almost bought a shrug at BCBG, that was slightly furry, but over $400. So she asked me to come up with something, and here it is:

Patons Brilliant, in black with a silver thread and Classic Elite La Gran mohair. Fuzzy. The brides isn't nearly as fuzzy or thick:

Schaffhauser Cristallo: a wool, viscose, polyester mix. That also has a small silver thread and which is very soft and silky, held together with Crystal Place Kid Merino. The black OSW is almost finished, and I would like to complete the other this weekend so they can be off in the mail. I want to make sure they fit, with plenty of time of adjustments.  I love fast projects!

Looking good. Having just completed (and worn) all 5 of the shawls I made for my friends wedding, I know how you feel about an upcoming deadline -- and to make sure they turn out well! I was really nervous mine wouldn't look good with our dresses but all the bridesmaids loved them and the one for the bride matched perfectly! I got lots of complements -- and I'm sure you will too. Hopefully you'll get pics of them being put to use on the big day.

p.s. I can't imagine that Vito would like water much...even though, I'm sure Winnie would still love him.
