Royal Wedding *again*

It took me a bit longer to restyle Kate, because I needed supplies - and of course the shops were shut!

I'm pretty pleased with the new version. I've added lace to the front of her skirt and all around the edge of the train, sleeves and bodice of course - given her hair, and a tiara and a much finer veil. Flowers are tiny white beads sewn to a leaf-green crochet base. *phew*

The real challenge was getting the veil/tiara combo to work whether the veil was forward or back, that took much head-scratching!

Royal Wedding Day!

Yay!

And oh dear :-( I guessed the wrong uniform then!

I reknitted Wills busily all morning whilst glued to the telly...



Kate now has new white flowers, but her veil, tiara and lace overshirt thingy will have to wait until I have been to the shops tomorrow, my stash has let me down.

Watch this space.

I wasn't the only one to get it wrong - this is the balcony over our town hall!

Meerkats in the Press

Got to love the headline!

Nifty to dance at the Royal wedding

Look what I read yesterday in the paper!



Can't say I've much experience with Bollywood dancing, but I'll give it a go.
In the meantime - have you seen this?

The Royal Wedding...Meerkat style!

I don't know if you missed the news ;-) but Prince William is getting wed.

The Palace haven't released details of what anybody is wearing, and he has quite a few military uniforms to choose from.

HelloMagazine asked readers to vote, but I don't think they'll have the final say...


Deciding how to knit MeerkatKate was rather easier! She's wearing a stylish white off-the-shoulders dress which is much longer at the back, extending to a long train. She has a further train of sequined netting which is matched by her long veil. As these are hard times in the UK she has settled for a simple necklace of silver beads and a small posy of mixed wildflowers which she carries with her left hand in front to show off the engagement bling.



Whichever uniform Prince Willaim wears, he'll no doubt wear his Jubilee medal, the blue sash which shows he is a Knight of the Garter and the Star which shows he is a Royal serving member of the Armed Forces.

The Royal Meerkats are favouring the the Air Force uniform, with its longline belted tunic...



...or maybe the Royal Navy? You'll note he isn't wearing the sash here - the butler had spent a long time shining up the double-breasted buttons and he promised not to cover them up.



Available only at Zibbet at the moment (see more pics there) but will come to my Etsy and Folksy shops soon if you can wait!
