Bitchin' Stitchin' on the Trams!

Although I was crowned in March, other affairs of state have distracted me from the important duty of blogging about royal stitching and bitching. A fabulous art project undertaken by the Melbourne Fringe Festival and Yarra trams has roused me from my silence. It combines culture, class, environmentally friendly transport, and fabulous stitching! GOOD CHOICE!

Over the past few months, I've collected a number of photos but haven't posted them. I'll work on correcting this oversight, starting with the most recent:
Princess Viv looks like she's making a hat out of some fabulous fuzzy yarn! She demonstrates flawless form with circular knitting on circular needles.
Newly ascended Princess Jocelyn shows off her newest skill--knitting on double pointed needles! Kudos to her for her bravery, as she narrowly missed having an eye poked out by a DPN a few weeks earlier. Sorry Princess Joce!
Princess Kate fastidiously knits some truly gorgeous socks. They're done now and have turned out to be both fetching and warm!
Princessi Eleri and Bek show off their projects. Princess Eleri had been struggling with several mostly-but-not-entirely finished knitting projects, but didn't let that stop her from knitting a really clever wrap. Meanwhile, Princess Bek mends a duvet cover an combines her love of scrap fabric with her love of not throwing out a perfectly good duvey cover in which someone (ahem, Prince Hugo, we're looking at you) chewed a hole.
Princess Em stretches her legs after some vigorous stitching. Stretching is very important, or the unwary princess could pull a muscle!

Will attempt to post more pictures soon!

Princess Bek's been feeding me better lately, so I don't have to eat the dooney cover any more.
