Winging It

All the knitting, all the crocheting, it is now complete.  The last bit of work on the wings involves using a crochet edge to "gather" in the wings and create a ruffled look. 

At this point, it's all assembly.  The wings have to be seamed together and the pieces that are used to hold the wings on a child need to be affixed.  This is one of those projects that turn out to be a lot more effort than you expect when it comes to getting all the finishing done.   Hopefully the nice long weekend ahead of us here in the U.S. will give me time to get this one wrapped up.  I'm excited about giving it as a gift, but I am really looking forward to working on something for myself.  I have this incredible desire to knit socks.  And there is much quilting to be done.  And there is so little time in my life for anything extra right now since when Ms. Z is awake she is in "danger baby" mode and crafting of any kind is almost impossible.
