Diamond Sparkle Wedding Wrap

There is something seriously satisfying about being able to walk down the aisle in something you made. If you love knitting almost as much as you love planning your wedding, you should make yourself this Diamond Sparkle Wedding Wrap. We love the silver threaded through the yarn used in this knit shawl it gives just the right amount of sparkle for a wedding ceremony, and against the stark white coloring, looks perfectly bridal. Mothers of the bride, we know what you'll be knitting for your daughter's big day.
