My niece Gianna was christened this past weekend (finally!), and to commemorate the occasion I decided to make her a special cape/shawl. I started this project way back in March, after seeing a similar adult-sized wrap. I loved the pattern the hexagons made, and I figured this would be a fast, easy project.
Wrong.
It took a long time. When I finally found out when the christening was I started to panic because I was sure I wouldn't have it done on time. But I managed, and apparently Gia was quite happy to wear it for pictures - and later in the day when it got cold.
Anyway, there she is, the little cutie pie. I'm really glad it fit her as well as it did. My son was a very reluctant "model" and I was afraid it'd be too short or whatever. Sorry I missed your christening!!
In other weekend news, my husband's cousin got married - that was a local event so we were in attendance. I had another rush project for that - a gold shrug to wear over my dress for the reception. Again, barely finished in time, only this time I overestimated and made it too big. It wasn't terribly bad, but I wasn't thrilled with it. I'll try to get a picture up showing it, but I'd much rather do it over - the pattern was fabulous and next time I know I'll get the sizing right.
