It's all done. I got up at 6am this morning to sew up the side seams, thread through the ribbon and then pack it for the exhibition. I bundled up all my knitting and headed off to the Wollongong Old Court House to help set up for the exhibition this weekend, we were meeting at around 10am or so, I left around 3pm to to some things on the way home and then get ready to go back for the opening at 7pm. I was so tired when I arrived home, threw some dirty washing in the machine, and laid down for a bit. I was too tired to get myself ready and go to the opening, I am sure that everyone who attended had a wonderful time, they will really enjoy the exhibition. I will be away this weekend so won't make it back to see the exhibition while open. Hopefully Tianne will go over
the weekend. I also forgot to buy a raffle ticket, you should have seen the lovely basket of yarn as the prize.The Christening Gown was knitted with 2ply pure wool by Te Awa (New Zealand). It was lovely to knit, well after getting past the ball that had 5 knots that had to be ripped back to the edge of the row and tired off. I used organza ribbon which looked lovely. I have taken some photos quickly this morning, and if I am lucky one of the girls from SNB will take some photos this weekend and email them to me.

Yes I'm planning on both afternoons to be there and well will be trying to get some pics as well. Despite the fact I seemed to land and keep running this week to catch up Hope I can just sit and make kitchen towels in a corner peacefully with out to many interruptions
You will love it, it looked pretty good when I left this afternoon. If you remember can you buy me a raffle ticket I will pay you back next week at knitters. Thanks
Will we get to see it in person before it goes to it's new home?
Unfortuantley the christening dress did not sell but as the tuesday night knitting is this week I have left all your stuff with Kerry along with your money from the other sales you had for you to get then.
It is very lovely, you should be very proud of yourself!
Wow. That is absolutely beautiful!
That is a really amazing achievement. I do intend, one day, to have a go at something beautifully fine and lacy. I can't believe that you did it so quickly. I suppose a deadline helps but it still takes that extra splurge of stamina to frog back a whole day's work and still get it don on time.
Well done , cheers Gillian
Looks lovely!
I hate balls with knots they are evil.
