So this is it!

In just over twenty-four hours I'll be marrying the love of my life. Guests have arrived from out-of-town, we picked up tuxes, we arranged the flowers, and we ran through a smooth and effortless rehearsal last night with all our folk. The forecast tomorrow is 22, partly cloudy, just as I called it a few months ago. So far it has been snag-free, but I'm in such a state of zen about it all that even if some big snafus did happen I think I could just shrug them off. So long as I can make it to the end of that aisle and return with my new husband, I'll be the happiest woman alive.

Nathan left for his parents' place about an hour ago, and we said a teary goodbye. Next time I see him he'll be at the end of a long, long aisle, waiting for me.

So I guess I don't have time to finish knitting my wedding shawl I started way back in the spring. Oops! :D

Wheel update!

Her name is Thecla: partly because of the Acts of Paul and Thecla which is one of my favourite pieces of literature I've ever worked on (and to which I hope to return someday, perhaps to study medieval reception of the legend); and also partly because that's sort of the sound she makes as she's spinning. THEC-luh, THEC-luh, THEC-luh. Love it <3
