Knit Your Own Royal Wedding~ Fiona Goble UPDATED!

First of, a disclaimer: I am NOT a Royal Watcher. Not at all. Now, I will admit that when I saw this book KNIT YOUR OWN ROYAL WEDDING, by Fiona Goble, I thought I needed it just as part of my knitting book collection.

I really do enjoy knitting little objects that look like the real thing. Have knitted quite a few of them, some of them posted on Raverly. But this is just too funny and very cleverly done I must add. Lots of credit to Fiona Goble for coming up with what is probably the most unique way to commemorate this event. But then, I am a knitter. Yes, of course, I ordered the book. I even overnighted it because I was inpatient to see it (even though all the images are viewable online). I thought about downloading the digital version of the book onto my iPad for instant gratification, but there was something about the tangible experience of perusing the actual book that was irresistable. And let me tell you, if you have not seen it, it is a hoot! As I was chuckling at Harry with the red hair in conversation with the groom, the Queen surrounded by her corgies, and Camilla with her hat and pearls, visions of the Royal Wedding party knitted with of all the left over sock scraps stored in my boxes started to dance in front of my eyes. Oh the colors I could use! The tiny buttons. The little decorations. The shiny embellishments.... Am I nuts??? I really do not have time for this with over 400 projects in my queue and enough yarn to last me through 2012. But it is fun to think about and I might have to try just one. Just one.

UPDATED with WEDDING VIDEO! Thanks for that Cheryl!
