Part of me thought I was nuts to attempt to complete a sweater while getting ready for my son&#8217;s wedding, and part of me thought it might just be the thing to save my sanity while getting ready for the wedding!  As it turns out, neither was quite right!  I have not even been close to losing my sanity, and there&#8217;s been plenty of time to enjoy making this cute cardigan!  Thank you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.minnowknits.com\/index3.html\">MinnowKnits<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve tidied up the gardens this weekend after being in Maine for a couple of weeks.  This activity was not just for my own enjoyment, although I&#8217;ve enjoyed sitting outside two nights this weekend watching the gardens fade at dusk and glow in the light of candles after dark, but also in preparation for the <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">UN<\/span>-rehearsal dinner we will hold on Thursday evening.  The resort where the wedding will take place does not allow time\/space for rehearsals, yet we still wanted to have a gathering of everyone involved in the wedding party.  So 30 people will be here to kick off the wedding celebrations!  After an 18 month engagement, it&#8217;s really hard for me to believe that the wedding takes place this week!  I have butterflies!&#8230;not from worries, just from sheer excitement!<\/p>\n<p>I will give this little sweater to my niece at the <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">UN<\/span>-rehearsal dinner, along with her strand of pearls, her gift for being the flower girl.  One Sunday afternoon a few weeks back the bride and I made pearl necklaces and earrings for all the females in the wedding party.  This is Madison&#8217;s.<a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_wMHmSKIt2bg\/SKhxY7ZM4SI\/AAAAAAAAAZI\/oC6EcJv7ze4\/s1600-h\/IMG_0137.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_wMHmSKIt2bg\/SKhxY7ZM4SI\/AAAAAAAAAZI\/oC6EcJv7ze4\/s200\/IMG_0137.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235559239892394274\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Let the fun begin!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>>Scallopini is done!
