Knit your own royal wedding


Did you get your invitation to the Royal Wedding yet?  Me neither.  No need to worry, get out your knitting needles, turn on CNN, and you can still be in the presence of royalty.  Sort of.  Behold, the knitted versions of the royals all dressed and ready for a wedding.

From CNN.com
In her aptly titled new book "Knit Your Own Royal Wedding" author Fiona Goble provides knitters with patterns to create woolen dolls of the entire royal clan.
In addition to creating dolls of Prince William and his fiancée Kate Middleton, the book includes instructions for dolls of father-of-the-groom Prince Charles and stepmother Camilla, best man Prince Harry (proudly wearing his British Army uniform), and grandparents Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.  There are even patterns for the Archbishop of Canterbury and for the Royal pet, the Queen's little Corgi.
The book also comes with a fold-out replica of the Buckingham Palace balcony so that you can proudly display your royal family dolls waving to the public when you are done.
So there you go!  You're all set for April 29 and still time to order the book and shop for some fabulous yarn.  Enjoy!

Also, tomorrow is Friday Fun Day!
