| Please help us knit the first
completely
knitted wedding!
Everything at this wedding will be knitted, from the cameras, to the dress, the food, the decorations, something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. Our bride is curator of the exhibition ‘Ceremony’, and Knitting Doctor, Freddie Robins. All knitters and their friends are invited to the wedding.
The wedding ceremony is at 2pm. At 2.45pm we will throw the woollen confetti. The champagne reception is at 3pm, with speeches and knitted cake. You may knit through the reception. There are drinks but you may want to bring a picnic, as the food is knitted. The 1st dance and the wedding disco with our favourite DJ Nervous Stephen, will start at 4pm and continue until 6.30 when the Bride and groom leave.
Please send work to the gallery before the wedding, clearly marked with your name and a SAE. All work will be credited in a slide show during the reception, and later shown in a book “ How to Knit Your Own Wedding” published by ‘Cast Off’. We invite all knitters to be in the book, and to contribute patterns. All work will be shown at the Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace 13th-16th October 2005.
The patterns linked below are merely a suggestion. If you have any other knitted items that would suit the wedding, we would love to use them. We have not mentioned needle size and yarn types on the flower patterns, because you can use whatever you have. Please don’t worry about the quality of your knitting, Freddie and Ben will love it all. Patterns for cameras, candles, cakes, and canapes, will be shown on our web site www.castoff.info
Rachael and Annie will be knitting in the gallery, and showing films with weddings in, from 28th September to 2nd October, and 5th October to 8th October, 11am-5pm. You are welcome to join us!
For more info ring ‘Cast Off’ on 020 7812 9249 or e-mail knitting@castoff.info.
We will return all work, but we can’t be held responsible for it’s well being.
Please label your knitting with your name, (sticker or parcel tag will do) and send it with a SAE to the Pump House Gallery, Battersea Park, London SW11 4NJ
Thank you!
