Amanda and I were married a month ago today. Tonight, I&#8217;m taking her to the North End for dinner, but before I dress up and head out, I&#8217;m posting one knitting-related wedding item. Our wedding was as DIY as we could get away with, and everyone we&#8217;ve talked to had a great time. We stressed out like any other couple in the months leading up to it, and like any other couple we were glad when it was over. We&#8217;re still waiting on most of the photos, but some friends and family have gotten some to us. This is a ring pillow I designed, based on the sunflower center from Lesley Stanfield&#8217;s book. I didn&#8217;t like the petals, so I did my own, as well as the back, and stuffed it to make it more pillow-ish.
