Thoughts from the Bus Stop

The Cast Off Knitting Club for Boys and Girls invite you to The Knitted Wedding:

"Please help us knit the first completely knitted wedding! Everything at this wedding will be knitted, from the cameras, to the dress, the food, the decorations, something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. Our bride is curator of the exhibition ‘Ceremony’, and Knitting Doctor, Freddie Robins. All knitters and their friends are invited to the wedding.

The wedding ceremony is at 2pm. At 2.45pm we will throw the woollen confetti. The champagne reception is at 3pm, with speeches and knitted cake. You may knit through the reception. There are drinks but you may want to bring a picnic, as the food is knitted. The 1st dance and the wedding disco with our favourite DJ Nervous Stephen, will start at 4pm and continue until 6.30 when the bride and groom leave."

Scroll to the bottom of this page for free wedding-themed knitting patterns, including candles, doves, flowers and sandwiches; as well as info on how to send your knitted items to the wedding. All work will be credited in a slide show during the reception, and later shown in a book - How to Knit Your Own Wedding - published by Cast Off.

The Knitted Wedding is part of the Ceremony exhibition at the Pump House Gallery in Battersea Park till 9 October 2005, "...fusing craft with live art Ceremony brings together an eclectic range of works, performances and projects that explore the performative relationship between object and ritual...ranging from cake decorating, metalwork, video, knitting, live art, quilting and floristry." Rachael and Annie from Cast Off will be knitting in the gallery, and showing films with weddings in, from 28th September to 2nd October, and 5th October to 8th October, 11am-5pm.
