Making Progress
I chose my wife, as she did her wedding gown,
for qualities that would wear well.

Ever notice how the blog and real (knitting) life don't always have a 1:1 correspondence? The vast majority of my knitting time has been going towards The Chuppah, and yet I haven't posted much about it recently. (Last progress photo here.) And so I present great progress:
I had all sorts of grand plans to get home and get a nice daylight photo today, but you know how those best laid plans can go . . . To appease those who can't see much above, here's an (unblocked) close-up: 
The progress portrayed above is a little more than half of the center section. That would be 6' wide by 3' long, for those of you keeping track, and represents about 1/3 of the overall knitting. Right on schedule. And you know how much I love schedules!Labels: The Chuppah

Oh, Theresa- you are a GOOD friend to be so diligently knitting! I'm sure it will become a family heirloom.
Now, the question is when are you going to make yourself one??? heh heh heh.
Wow, that looks great!
That is amazing. What a wonderful friend you are.
It continues to be gorgeous Theresa!!
This is gorgeous! Great progress!
To say that it is beautiful seems like such an understatement of fact. It really is quite lovely and you are so generous. As much as I can not wait to see the finished product, I am sure you are probably looking forward to the end a little more!
I'm rather jealous of the friend who is receiving the chuppah. For my wedding, we just used a store-bought lace tablecloth. It worked, and it was pretty, but still, not as pretty as the one you're making!
Speaking as one of the two persons who will be getting married under said chuppah, I approve. Keep up the fine work.
Very beautiful!
Wow, you're really coming along! It looks phenomenal. I hope it doesn't upstage the bride! (Which of course, it won't. It'll just enhance her.)
T it's looking so beautiful! I'm getting so exctied :) You'll have to have your parents take good pics of it in the chapel when it's all set up.
It's beautiful! That pattern is on my to-do list, but just the thought of starting it is daunting. What a great friend you are!!
Wow. Look at that! I've said it before - that will be so amazing once it's done. I am also super impressed that you are keeping up with your schedule.
So amazing. That is a really good friend! No, wait, YOU are the really good friend! I love the close-up of the motif.
It's so beautiful... you'll making something that will treasured for years and years. what an amazing piece of history.
Hi T, It looks GREAT! You bring so many smiles to people in so many ways! Thank You!!! Love, Mom
That is fantastic! As the hubby says, this is going to be one lucky friend!
So glad you are right on schedule!
It's beautiful!
This is so impressive, for so many reasons. I continue to be in awe of this project. Beautiful!
