Almost Married

The date is getting closer, and we're beginning to realise, shit! we're actually getting married.
The certificates came through yesterday for our name change. So officially and legally we now have a joined surname. Although we're not going to use it until the 14th. Denise's dress is almost finished and I had a fitting for my shirt on Monday. Unfortunately with a week before the wedding also comes the due date for a lot of the payments.
Denise has finished my wedding socks, and was so pleased with the stretchy bind-off she's found. I think this will now become 'her sock pattern' she loves it so much. I've tried the socks on to make sure they fit, but I don't want to ruin or dirty them yet. The little hearts on them are so cute.
I stuffed my jumper sleeve in one of the socks so the pattern shows up a bit better.
And I've got the shawl finished. Thanks to advice from people on the GLBT-Knit list, I blocked the shawl last night, and it does make lace look a look nicer. I don't know if I will bother doing it for everything I knit, especially socks and beanies. Now I just have to add some edging to it. I'm thinking a crochet edging, something that won't take too long either since there is only 9 DAYS TO GO!
You can see the hearts a little clearer in the second picture. I was going to do smaller hearts, similar to the ones on the socks Denise made, but I think this is just as nice.
I'm currently writing this blog from work. It's my last day here, and I'm just cleaning up my desk, deleting old files off my computer and finalising things here. Unfortunately no further work has come through yet, so when people ask me where I'm going to next I'm telling them Centrelink... as a customer. I've had a couple of job interviews, here's hoping I get a job from one of them.
Anyone need a computer geek with good technical hardware and troubleshooting skills?
Pictures to be added when I get home.
