knitting update #2: wedding edition

my cousin laura got married in september, and i was a bridesmaid in her wedding, which was a really special experience.  i was so honored to be a part of it!  i love our family.

because i am a crazy knitter AND because i thought laura and josh were just hipster enough to appreciate it :) , i knitted a little bride and groom doll as the gift for their wedding shower.

i think they turned out so well!  modifying patterns to fit different ideas makes me so happy.  these are actually patterns for stuffed bunnies.  for both i changed the yarn colors (obviously), and stuck a little felt tie on the groom and gave him some buttons on his "jacket."  for the bride i built a skirt out from the torso in a seed stitch, which gave it some texture.  the hair was fun to make and turned out okay, but actually not as wonderful as i wanted it to - something to work on for next time.
