I thought I'd be able to show proper pictures of the finished product in wedding context, but as it turns out nobody took any pictures of our i-cord table numbers. So here's one out of context. It got a bit bent out of shape when someone shoved it in a box post-wedding, but you get the idea.
We made 6. DH measured, cut, and twisted the wire (incidently, the same green garden wire we used to make our Christmas tree.) I did the i-cord out of some leftover Cascade 220. Teamwork! Yay! I don't recommend this wedding craft, really, unless you have a knitting spool/loom large enough for the yarn you want to use. My knitting spool is a bit small for worsted weight, so I just did plain i-cord manually, and it got a bit tedious. Still, I'm happy with how they turned out.
And we didn't stop there! Haha. We also made our initials to go on top of the cake. This time I used thinner yarn, and it was much faster - the letters are pretty small compared to the numbers.
Cake in context:
I think we managed to represent our shared love of making stuff pretty well.
Happy Friday, everyone! Go see some more FOs at Tami's Blog.
Ok, that couldn't be any more cute! I think it is a fabulous idea!

ReplyDeleteThose are great!!! And that's a neat idea for people who might want to "craft up" their wedding, but don't have a lot of time to do it.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool idea! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great idea! And it looks great in the pic with the happy couple, too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea for a cake topper!
ReplyDeleteIt never fails, you spend hours and hours making something and then someone carelessly shoves it in a box. They do look lovely. Especially, the cake topper.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, I didn't actually expect to get them again after the wedding - didn't realize the venue people were going to pack them all back up.
DeleteThis is such a cool idea! You are definitely my knitting idol now!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks!
DeleteSuch a neat and original idea! You guys look so fabulous in that picture.
ReplyDeleteYou both look so happy - yay for miles of icord! What a fab looking wedding - your shawl and the numbers are cool - and I'm loving your honeymoon knitting :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a really clever idea for table numbers and the cake topper!
