Here's a little reminder of why I was quite happy to purchase my wedding dress:"Macdonnell wanted crocheted edging to soften the lines of the V-neck and the mo-leaf detail to repeat at the back, but with no pattern to consult and unable to do a proper fitting until a piece was completed, the bodice came together and unravelled almost half a dozen times before she found something that worked. Like Penelope in Homer's The Odyssey, she wove it together and pulled it apart. A week and a half before the wedding, she almost threw it on the bonfire after unravelling it for a third time."You'll have to read the article to get the description of the dress... :)
ps: I don't think this author knows a damn thing about knitting - surprise, surprise!
ps x 2: turns out that the flower girl in that wedding is the daughter of one of Mike's friends. And the article's author is the son of our City Councillor. Ottawa is a scarily small place sometimes!

Aww, come on: reporters don't generally know anything about anything they're reporting about! They're just supposed to know what's important about what they're being told ... oh, wait, that's a problem, isn't it? Hah!
It sounds like she turned a hobby into work. Ask me why I'm not a professional baker? Yup. Ruins a good thing, I'm sure.
Frogging it only 3 times. You could do better than that I'm sure. Some people have no staying power. :)
p.s. Why didn't she just block it into shape?
