I am an avid knitter planning to be married in an informal outdoor ceremony and I want to make my own dress. (There are those of us who KNOW we aren't princesses). I have settled on a simple lace tunic over a silk slip dress (being middle aged and all). I was excedingly curious about the wedding dress in this book, and have been unable to locate the book locally. Now I know why! I will do better designing my own dress.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09192712951025359085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-20663969120682783182007-02-02T13:51:00.000-05:002007-02-02T13:51:00.000-05:00I think part of the problem with the sizing of the...I think part of the problem with the sizing of the wedding dress is that the sample was knit on a machine, not by hand.

I love it. Thanks so much for the honest look at this book. I can't get to (english) bookstores these days to check things out myself, and so it's terribly helpful to have someone like you reviewing the new titles for me.

You know, that day (or night) when you spent hours pushing a baby's head the size of a watermelon out an opening the size of a garden hose, while being videotaped by your "birthing coach," only to have your spawn gum your nipples for hours while they sew up your episiotomy. Yep, them sure were some good times.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651035210994960810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1168908059445867032007-01-15T19:40:00.000-05:002007-01-15T19:40:00.000-05:00Me, I'd prefer Empress of the Universe.

I couldn't think of any underwear that the bride could possibly wear under the wedding dress, and damn that stuff clings to her ass tighter than a neoprene wetsuit with none of the support. I do have to admit that Suss's breathless LA hyperventilating irritates me.<BR/>I thought the happiest days of your life were spent underwater, then knitting in a hammock as ths sun sets on the ocean.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1168903628738820872007-01-15T18:27:00.000-05:002007-01-15T18:27:00.000-05:00Oh spare us, please, from those sad dopey "happies...Oh spare us, please, from those sad dopey "happiest day of my life" girls.<BR/>Wedding days are good for guests and caterers.<BR/><BR/>Everybody knows the happiest days of your life are those spent at Happy Koiguland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1168889412427603392007-01-15T14:30:00.000-05:002007-01-15T14:30:00.000-05:00Women want to feel like princesses on their weddin...Women want to feel like princesses on their wedding night?

Ah well. File this in the "flip through at the yarn store, then put it back and buy more sock yarn" drawer.<BR/>I did actually knit lace shawls for my sis' wedding- had the yarn for the bridesmaids' & flower girl's dresses dyed to match, etc. Then the day was so stinking hot the shawls never came out of their bag. Feh.<BR/>Anyway, if you ever do encouter Bridezilla at the shop, it would make a wonderful post...mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981340071876565395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1168883761811654892007-01-15T12:56:00.000-05:002007-01-15T12:56:00.000-05:00I just saw this in the bookstore yesterday, picked...I just saw this in the bookstore yesterday, picked it up, and almost immediately put it back when I saw the dress. It is beautifully produced, but I thought the whole idea of a "knitted" wedding was silly when most girls have their fantasy wedding planned for years. Don't we all give into that dream at least once? If you have to buy it, get it on sale!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
