THE ROYAL WEDDING IN STITCHES

 

The happy couple

From the Daily Mail:
If you’re needled about not being invited to the royal wedding, don’t despair – for now you can knit yourself there.

Among the wealth of tea towels, printed plates and specially forged coins, this unusual souvenir kit has emerged, featuring knitting patterns for ten ‘characters’ from William and Kate’s nuptials.

These include the bride and groom, the Queen and Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. And, of course, the corgis.

The rest of them, including the corgis

Knit Your Own Royal Wedding costs £9.99. To order a copy for £8.99 (p&p free) call 0845 155 0720 or see Ivy Press.

I want exclusive rights to the pictures from those of you who decide to take up the project, okay?

Thanks to Ann for the link.

  2. Love the ABC one - so much like him - even his head stuffed with who knows what - wooly for sure

  3. Lapin, I've seen the pics in your link before, but they are still hilarious. The Royals are human. Who knew?

    Ann, the knitted figure is a wonderfully accurate depiction of Rowan.

  4. Rowan is SPOT ON! *LOL*

    [Do you think the corgis might show what they think, for his bringing disgrace to "Cymru"? {nip!} >;-/]

  5. I will add my voice to the growing chorus of those who say the Rowan figure is strangely like him.
