A Wooly Wedding

I am off to visit my family and friends in the U.K. in April but, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, I am returning to France the day before the Royal Wedding. 

No matter though, forget the china mugs, display plates and commemorative tea towels, thanks to Fiona Gobel’s book  I can now knit myself a souvenir.

How gorgeous is that? 

Being in France though, I can’t help thinking about ‘Les Tricoteuses’ knitting away at the side of the guillotine as many of the aristocracy were dispatched!  Or is that just me?
