- I Designed and Knitted My Wedding Dress in 6 Weeks
Welcome to my craziest and most ambitoius knit and crochet project ever, trying to design and make my own wedding dress, in just 6 weeks time.
This was a real intense journey and I documented the entire process from the very start to the very end, and there were definitely some highs and lows along the way. To make it even more intense, we also moved at the same time as we were planning the wedding and I was knitting my wedding dress, so yeah, this is definitely a very busy season of life.
And oh yeah, my knitting book also got published in the same time! :) I'll definitely share more about it and show all the designs in a separate video.
Hope you'll enjoy this once in a lifetime challenge I took on, thank you so much for watching!

She knitted and crocheted her own wedding dress, planned a wedding, moved, plus just regular life, all in just 5 weeks! Wow! Talk about driven!
I planned our wedding, bought a house, went abroad to get married, came back, spent weeks renovating the house, moved, continued renovating whilst living at the new house. That was total 8 months of non stop work. Buying the dress was a challenge in itself, if I were to make one I'd have another mental breakdown to add to the several I had in the course of the last 8 months 😅
Young no children. We were all that driven once. At least everyone I knew was.
The fact the dress essentially was knitted during days out and places you visited and days you loved is like knitting the good memories and love into your dress and wearing them as you get married to your love it just seems so sentimental and lovely xx
that is such a beautiful way to put it omg
Oh wow that’s so true. That dress will be associated with all those good memories to her
I knit and crochet a lot and have noticed that when I knit to get a project done quickly, I get that shoulder pain . This is beautiful. My youngest daughter is getting married in April and we're looking for lacy material for the bodice Perhaps we should look at a crochet top !
This is how I feel about knitting as well. Like putting love in food. Weaving love and blessings into the work.
Werry nice dress❤️
I don't know you, and I just clicked on this video randomly, but I nearly cried seeing you in your beautiful dress. Amazing job, you looked gorgeous in it! Congratulations on the wedding and the new home as well.
Beautiful ❤
I agree. I thought her dress was absolutely beautiful and she is a beautiful bride. The love that went into her doing all that work on creating her dress is amazing. I love it!!
I love the simpleness of everything in this video diary. Your dress, your home, your wedding / home warming combined, the music, the small intimate gathering,.. Everything done with love. Truly remarkable in this day and age of extravangance and over indulgence, just beautiful. God bless you both x
Totally agree!
Well said
"in this age of extravagance and over indulgence", yes, yes, yes. Wedding today seem like movies sets rather a beautiful calm commemoration and promise of love and life.
@raeleohana8797 And you know what I thought in the end? Although this wedding is so 'simple' it turns out to be much more like the perfect TV weddings than every other wedding I've seen. It's because of the light bulbs and all the small details done with love. Phantastic!
The dress knitted by her, the music composed by her dad. This family does it themselves because they want it done right. Your dress is stunning.
The dress is stunning, but so is the video. I am pretty convinced she did that all by herself as well. Kika, you are a true inspiration!
I loved the inclusion of her dad's music! Talent clearly runs in her family. :)
Hi, I was the 1k “liker” 😁 have a nice day
This video is so beautiful and memorable. I can't stop smiling 😄
Beautiful Dress Thank you for Sharing. This video. Just Amazing I do a lot of Crocheting 🧶. I see the. Amazing Work you put in to Your Wedding Dress. God bless you Anf thank you 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇮🇪🇮🇪🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶
I cant believe you managed to knit a dress, plan a wedding and move house in six weeks, you are on another planet. It looked absolutely stunning on you. Congratulations and best wishes for your life together!
This is crochet not knitting.. much different time line... knitting takes so much more time..
Edit. I hadn't watched to the end to see the hoop knitting..
Definitely doable with the skills.
My Auntie use to crochet a dress every week.
Stunning.
@@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469 agreed my gran used to crochet dresses for me , my sisters and my cousins within a like a month
This IS knitting with some crochet! I’ve watched the whole video and I’ve been a knitted for over 55 yrs. I know what knitting is. Crochet is much fast and not as nice as knitting. I’ve done both.
@@jannoona123 open discussion is not always undermining, just because the conversation is uncomfortable, and friendly and open about skill sets and timeline does not qualify it as undermining.. and your negative impact came across after my edited response.
I have done both crochet & knitting along with weaving...
My son 39 years ago I knitted and crocheted his pants, hats, blankets, sweaters, all that I could.
A wedding is a huge event, she's a blogger... with skill and drive..
We get to know what she chooses to share.
She did a wonderful job with her dress.
She eloquently expressed her changes and styles. She armed herself with skill, knowledge and reference materials.
She has received many compliments from the reaches of folks who have no skill or understanding of this process, have little experience, and folks with tremendous knowledge and experience.
Please stop thinking you are above undermining as reference it during your act of doing so...
Find peace and blessings...
I’m a dressmaker and tailor who recently took up knitting and this whole video was soo stressful for me 😭 i could see the problem with the top coming! But my god, the finished result is just divine.
I worked beside a woman who knitted her wedding dress many many years ago. She was knitting it on her tea breaks and lunch breaks in the office every day. It was beautiful once finished. Love your dress too it's also beautiful
When I was seventeen I crocheted 7 dresses ( one for every day of the week). I received sooooo many compliments. When I was 21 I had my first child and used one of those crochet dresses to make a pillow sham and pram cover! For my wedding I always wanted to get married in midnight blue velvet, which I did, however I had two 10 year old bridesmaids and I designed and sewed their white dresses which were edged in blue. All the clothes for both my babies were crocheted by me or knitted by my mother. I have continued the tradition by crocheting little jackets for my two great grandsons, who were born this year.
I remember in high school I crocheted a SWIM SUIT!!! I line it with white underwear, but jumped in and it stretched so bad, I ran to the locker room to change!!
Wow. I was born in the mid 80s and was never so blessed. I wish I learned something productive and creative. God bless you
Legacy knitting! 🤎
Aww, what an amazing & inspirational story. May all your days be bright with warmth, sunshine, happiness & lots of wholesome family love! 😊 🌹 💐
@@thetruthwillsetyoufree5567 me too! 1985 here. I live sewing, crocheting, playing the piano & making pottery. It's never too late to start. Best wishes!
There is a beauty to that dress that you can't find in a bought dress. Elegant, graceful, feminine, even cozy and soft. Way better than anything bought. You're very talented.
@@mc1069 YES! Like eating, cooking, bathing, pay bills, sleep! She even painted a fence!
Stunning!! Congrats!!
Yes! When you consider the incalculable money spent on weddings, even wedding planners!!!, this couple has so many more blessed memories to cherish about their beginnings, than those who hire everything done for them! What beautiful ideas and efforts! Best wishes and cheers for your lives together!
This Rooba Iqbal 24 years ago love Freddie
It must be so much more comfortable than a traditional wedding dress too
I think this is the prettiest wedding dress i've ever seen 🥰
Right..? For so many reasons... 😊
Same, if I ever marry again I will be watching this video for 6 weeks with my hook and round knitting needles!
The fact that you weathered moving, a book launch, planning your wedding AND designing and making your own dress bodes well for a long and happy life together! If you can do that, you can do anything! Congratulations to you both. And your dress is beautiful!
I showed this to my grandma, who has been knitting all her life. She was very impressed that a young woman like yourself enjoys knitting so much and it so good at it.
This may in fact be the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. Proves you don't have to spend a fortune to have a beautiful, meaninful and enjoyable wedding day. Your dress is an absolute treasure.
I agree
You may never read this in the sea of comments, but here goes anyway.
I love the dress, so beautiful, you are so talented. And how you managed it all at once, moving, dress making, wedding prep, work…. 🤯
I showed my mom too, she is 83, she is IN LOVE with your dress. She mentioned how, sadly, she did not really get to choose her own wedding dress.
Anyway, congratulations on your new home, your marriage, all of it.
Finally youtube recommends me a true gem.
Much love all the way from Curaçao ❤
I love seeing people who are willing to put the work into making something unique and beautiful instead of buying some boring cookie-cutter dress. Congratulations!
The fact that this dress is usable after the wedding makes it 10/10 and it's gorgeous
OMG the way the bottom of the dress moves when you walk is one of the prettiest things i've ever seen. I don't think any other fabric could replicate the ripple effect that skirt and flare gives! it's like water.... so smooth and graceful!
Yeah, the drape is just stunning!
Are we watching the same video?
The music made by your dad was SO HEARTWARMING 😭!! I WOULD HAVE CRIED IF I WAS A GUEST THERE!! Paired with the amazing dress that you knitted, WOW. I am obsessed with this project that you took on! You did an amazing job and it looked like you had an amazing time in your dream dress! 🥺
Exquisitely beautiful with a feel and touch of genuine old world class. Which never goes out of style. You should be immensely proud. Your husband, and entire family, too. I know one day that your daughter will truly be proud. Yes, I did say your daughter. Do not forget to teach her all those wonderful skill's.
As a woman, I want you to know that I am also very proud of and for you. I wish more and more of today's culture and women still sewed, crocheted, and knitted. What a wonderful blessed skill to have.
You should know that you are stunning, that you look sooo incredibly beautiful. All of the money and jewel's in the world could not have made you moreso.
Congratulations to you and your husband on your big day! God bless and keep you and all your family always and forever.
The fact that you created/designed your own wedding dress, wedding planned, moved into a new home and still took time to record the whole process for YT is nothing short of incredible. Others may have crochet/knit their own wedding dress, but highly unlikely in six weeks. You are unbelievably talented. Your dress is simply stunning and truly a designer original. Your dad’s composition was beautiful. Congratulations on your future and life adventures together.
The dress turned out more beautiful than many high end wedding dresses that I have seen, and the fact that you made it makes it so much more special! Congratulations
That dress is a true heirloom. I can't imagine taking on such a task. Very beautiful and congratulations ❤❤❤
She is the calmest bride yet. Wow, what beautiful work.
Awww, I had to cry a little over how cute it is to play your dad's original wedding composition. It seems that creativity runs in the genes. Beautiful dress and video!
True❤
I thought that was the most important meaningful way to celebrate her dad and her day.. completely in awe of the music 🎶
I don’t know how RUclips delivered this video to me but I am SO impressed by your talents … absolutely stunning dress! Enjoyed every minute of this ❤
I know why it is shown to me .... a sign from the universe....to believe in my re-union and marriage with my sweetheart. I have just finished knitting a pair of socks for him .... with a lot of love and good vibrations in each stitch 💞 All the best for you.
Same here, I don’t know how YT popped up this video to me.. but I am glad that it did.
She is very sweet, talented wonderful person. God bless her.
Same for me too, perfect timing 🥰
As someone who knits and who follows her, happy that more ppl discovered her, this journey totally is worth watching!
This is the most wholesome video ive seen here in a very long time. We're really proud of you and your wedding was so beautiful!
Your dress is beautiful! What an amazing job you did.
If anyone is getting shoulder or wrist pain while knitting, use a boppy pillow (pillow for breastfeeding u shape wraps around your waist). I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and this trick has helped me continue to knit. My physical therapist loved this so much she was sharing with other patients, so physical therapist approved.
Your wedding dress is absolutely beautiful! Definitely worth all the anxiety I’m sure it caused, along with moving right before a wedding.
That’s an awesome hack! I have chronic pain and am a patient outreach supervisor at work (and post stuff for patients here), and I’ll definitely pass this hack along and use it myself! Writing is very difficult for me, and while knitting isn’t quite as hard, I definitely have an upper limit. I think with more support, I won’t grip the needles so tightly, and fend off fatigue for longer! Thanks so much for commenting this. 😊
@@ChronicallyCurious yes please share, it’s such a huge help for me! Writing is harder for me than knitting too, it’s funny. I only find I grip too hard with smaller needles now. My shoulders and back don’t ache after knitting with the boppy too. I also use it on car trips when I’m passenger, it’s even helping my car sickness because I’m not sloshing around as much. It helps the pain of car trips quiet a bit. I hope you find you can knit longer with this hack.
@@dacktal75 Yeah, it’s the smaller needles for me too! I’m starting more lightweight yarns for hats and mittens and it’s a struggle because it takes so long to see any progress, and my hands get so cramped so quickly!
But, I’m hopeful that this time next year I’ll be working on knitting some baby blankets, so I’m trying to get used to this more finicky size. 😊 Also, having a boppy already on hand will be helpful. 😅
Thanks so much, again!
Thanks so much for this hint. I was in a bad car accident a few years ago that left my left hand a bit crook - huge chunk of fingers and palm are total dead zones. Can't feel heat/pressure/anything. Weirdest feeling in the world. Sliced thru a major tendon too. I can ~use~ the hand, thankfully, but it when I do anything that requires repeated motions for a long chunk of time, my whole arm begins to cramp and it all just starts to hurt like blazes. Knitting became physical therapy for me but while it has immensely helped me improve my range of motion and use of my hand, the mix of the damage and rheumatoid arthritis play merry hell on my shoulder and wrist. Soon as I've finished this, I'm off to order a pillow and am hopeful it will help. (If not, eh, I've now got a comfy pillow!) I'm wondering if it would help with writing too. (Weirdly? My writing has always been pretty terrible. I'm ambidextrous but I've also broken both wrists and multiple parts of each hand over the years - I'm the queen of klutz 🙃- which has muddled up writing for years for me, but at least I can swap hands depending on what stupid thing I've most recently done BUT my calligraphy and illumination skills are pretty top notch. But since the accident, more than maybe 30 min and my shoulder is on fire and my hand starts to shake. And using ink instead of a 'real' pen makes that a rather.... splashy experience! Here's hoping a bit of a grip like this pillow will help mitigate the issue. I just need to make sure to get one that matches the ink I use.... lol. I'm knitting a sweater at the moment and anything that will let me knit longer than 10 minutes before wanting to wimp out would be amazing!
@@Magpiebard I really hope this works for you too! Trying to write with it is an excellent idea. I don’t know if you saw my reply to another commenter but I also use a boppy for when I’m traveling in the passenger seat, it helps stabilize my arms more and I’m not as fatigued with finding a spot to put them. I hope it affords you more time to knit your sweater.
The dress turned out to be so lovely and honestly is such a special thing. If you ever have any children, it is something that could be passed down. Even if no one does end up wearing it, I really feel like that dress should be come a treasured family heirloom! If I had a mother or grandmother who passed down a dress like that, I would be frothing at the mouth to get married just so I could wear that xD
Wouldn't it be awful though if a fat cousin borrowed it and stretched it all out of shape just before you got married 😁.
@@cyflym11 Did you really need to make such a nasty comment?? Geez, let's keep it positive here. And you should try being more sensitive cuz not everyone is a size 2.
@@malloryg4251 Oh don't be so pathetic, it was a joke. This bride is lovely and slim, the dress is knitted. You couldn't just lend it out to anyone and expect to get it back in the same state. You couldn't even have it altered to fit someone slimmer; so beautiful as it is it's not really going to be a family heirloom. You should try being less 'sensitive' and looking for things to be offended over.
@@cyflym11 jokes are meant to be funny ✌️
@@cyflym11 you rlly had to be that person didnt you
You looked stunning in your beautiful wedding dress - well done and congratulations!
I see you have now recently surpassed your 2nd wedding anniversary, so happy belated anniversary to you both 🎉
As for your fathers music composition, how beautifully composed and such a divine gift of inclusion for your most special and precious milestone in your life, getting married to the man you love.
Thank you for sharing this lovely video. God Bless you both xxx
💐💕
The dress is S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G!!!! What an incredible thing you have achieved to knit & crochet your own wedding dress… in the midst of moving house, planning a wedding & releasing a book. Brava! I’m sure it will become a treasured heirloom. I love also that you wear such pretty dresses so often ❤
Blessings on your marriage, your new home and new chapter together as husband & wife!❤❤❤❤
Your crochet skills are superior and your dress absolutely fits the surroundings, so beautiful and yet elegantly simple.
I had the same exact thoughts!
Heirloom in the making! She got a treasure in her hand to pass to her children. This is GOLD!
I hope your marriage turns out as wholesome and comfortable as that beautiful dress❤
A beautiful dress, a beautiful bride, a beautiful wedding. :)
What a beautiful dress, and congratulations to you both! Many years ago a college friend crocheted her wedding dress. She worked on it a couple of hours every day all semester- it was a very fine gauge. It was cotton, and once it hung for a few days it grew about 8 inches. She had to unravel about 2 weeks of hard work. The wedding was in California,'s central valley and it was 106F/41C. She was probably the most comfortable person in the non-air conditioned church ;)
So beautiful! I have only heard of one person doing such a thing and it was the mother in law of the bride and she too was an extraordinarily talented person! Wishing you both great happiness! Aussie Lady
Wqfnjdjdjdjdjd and mjmilukukul are you going to be able to get my blood work guy in the morning and by Six days and lots 💓💗💓☺️💓☺️💓💗💓☺️☺️☺️💓💗☺️☺️ u

My husband cousin crocheted her wedding dress and sewed all the bridesmaids dresses and her husband to be western suit and shirt plus matching shirts for the guys. She only got some help on the guys shirts from her aunt. She told all the braidmaids and the guys that they better not gain a whole bunch of weight. Because they be out of luck.
@@alissagonzales735 I was just thinking how much more stressful it's would be if she took on all the wedding party outfits too 😂
Similar thing happened to me 😁. I crocheted a top with rayon yarn and after following the pattern I thought "This is way too short, it's cropped" so I kept going. May have even needed to buy another skein of yarn. When it was complete I blocked it, but it was taking forever to dry, so I eventually hung it up. It stretched about 5 inches and is now a tunic! LOL 🤣 And to add insult to injury, when I wore it, it left a thick layer of lint everywhere.
There aren't words enough to describe how absolutely stunning you look in that dress. Then you had the bit about the song and that your dad composed it for his sister's wedding, then the tears came! Best of wishes for you always. The groom wasn't half bad either!😉🙏🏻❤️🍾
AMAZING! Your life, your home, your ambition, your husband, your dress.... YOU are amazing in the simplest, perfect way!!! BRAVO!
Thank you for taking us on this journey of knitting, crocheting, trial/error, and design. You are such an inspiration and have given me a little more confidence to maybe learn how to knit. I am a beginner crocheter and just love to create. God bless you in your marriage, career, and hobbies. I'd like to purchase your book and gift to my knitting friend.
I am so completely shooketh. The amount of work that went into this beautiful dress, and how precious and unique it is, it is an absolute dream. What an insanely talented woman.
fabulous dress fabulous wedding!
And speaks perfect fluent English too.
Charming voice, along with all her other amazing organizational and artistic talents!
I just love ALL the concepts of this video - your choice of simplicity and happiness over big and showy. Love the dress, the tables ready for the day, the happy couple, the friends helping, the simple posy, - all of it, so much more life-like than the weddings with a lot of money spent on them. I prefer the simplicity and artistry, and above all, love, that made this day for you.
I completely agree with you. Simplicity and artistry.
Im in awe lady you are a marvel. Frankly I'm English so when I am absolutely stumped and have no clue as to what to do next I just put the kettle on, have a cup of tea and address my inner troops. sometimes it may need a phone call to my mum. I have not finished your video yet but I'm rooting for you and a happy outcome 🙂
It is a work of art, it's a treasure. It's as beautiful as you are. How unbelievably lovely that you know how to make something that is so spectacular. It's an heirloom.
That is the most beautiful wedding dress I have ever seen. I like it so much more than all the flouncy tulle and lace "normal" dresses you see. The skill is incredible and the final effect is both beautiful and understated, subtle yet intricately dazzling. How did you make me, a cynical 40 year old, not in the last bit interested in getting married, care so much about something far from my world? I wish you every happiness for your future together, congratulations!
I get what you're saying, but I feel like there's a way to say it without putting down other styles of dress 😊
@@ms.construed1305 No, "it's so much more than all the...dresses you see", is putting others down
My Aunt crocheted / knitted my communion dress in 1980 from silk yarn too. I live in Australia so being summer it was to the knee and short sleeved. At the time I thought I wished I had the long satin wedding looking dresses the other girls had, ( I never said it out loud) but now I appreciate how much work went into it and how special and unique it was.😍
Such a beautiful story! As children, we don't understand many of the nice things our parents or other people do for us, especially when it's made by hand.
@@sapphirecamui6447 how true. We realize that (a little bit ) far too late.
Your breathtaking creation! Your ' fabric of dreams...'
Your enchanting story!
Thank you for. sharing yourself..
This video brought tears to my eyes, the love I feel poured into this video is so magical 💗
Every single thing about your wedding, your dress, your house, all the love that went into every aspect of your marriage, insures that you will have a long and happy life together. And what an heirloom to pass down to your children (hopefully your daughter). Your dress is magnificent and you are a very talented person. I'm sending this to my sister who is also quite the knitter; she will so appreciate your skill and dedication. Congratulations to you and your husband.
This is something straight out of the 1970's and I absolutely love it, my grandma also made her own dress for her wedding circa 1973
This video randomly showed up in my feed and I have to say that it was the best investment of 46:05 minutes I have made in a long time here on you tube. What a beautiful and wholesome wedding - the way it should be. Your dress is gorgeous and so are you! Congratulations to you both on your marriage and new home!
Ditto
Agree❤
It came up in my feed randomly too. I clicked on it thinking I was going to skip to the end to see the final result but know I'm completely invested in the journey
@@marleeradford1277 Same here, I just left that part out! Too funny.
My same experience! I want to go back in time and have this be MY wedding experience. So much beauty and joy and love
This the most incredibly beautiful knit I have ever seen in my life! You were such a beautiful bride. What an amazing time!
Thank you so much!
Your dress is breathtaking. What a lovely wedding, and your Dads musical composition was magnificent.
I am so happy I came accross this video randomly, and stuck with you from start to finish to watch your story. How you kept your cool pretty much throughout amazes me, I am more of a seamstress than a knitter and I can't imagine how frustrating it is having to undo everything you've done to fix the waistline like that. Huge respect! It looked absolutely beautiful on you, and the fact you made it is so special too. Wishing you all the happiness for you and your partner xx
Word
Congratulations putting together a beautiful wedding. Your dress was beautiful
The dress , the music created by her dad , your lovely friends and the elegant wedding and the whole vibe of your video and the wedding made it look more beautiful than any millionaire wedding . It was all love and light heartedness 😍 this feels like a day anyone would remember and tell the story to their grand kids😍 love from India 🇮🇳
Moving is OK but placing everything in place is not essential... You probably learned, in this process, how to define your PRIORITIES, knowing quite well that you may undo or change something!! Your dress looks GORGEOUS!!! I literally LOVE IT!!! CONGRATULATION... you made a masterpiece! You will have lots of memories to share with your future children...
✨✨💖🧡💛💚💙💜🤎✨✨
Finnally, a great wedding with love, simplicity and at home!!! Beautifull!
And without bills for thousands of dollars, euros or .....
Freschness on the wedding scene! Good luck and bless you God!❤
I came for the talent, but seeing you in the dress on your wedding day made my jaw drop and had me sobbing like I was there. And when you said your dad wrote the music? Girl! Just beautiful!! Congrats on ur nuptials!!! May God bless you both for years to come.
As a man who knits and crochets, I could feel your enthusiasm in your creativity and the stress of the whole process, along with your anticipation of the day. There really is so much that needs to be done when setting up a household and a wedding, but when you factor in the designing and making your own dress, and recording the process, the stress must have been beyond intense! When you mentioned the few hours wasted with the failed lace at the bottom, I could have cried for you! I applaud you for such an undertaking and an encore applause for your success! The dress is beautiful!
Couldn't say it any better.
@@catharinakanninga-degraaf3575 What a compliment, you just made my day! I thank you so much! 😃💐
@@ThundermansThunder thank you mister Thunder Man.
What a beautiful heirloom! I hope your generations to come get to wear this dress for their own wedding!
What a beautiful dress and wedding. My Uncle crocheted my cousin's wedding dress. The day before the wedding he had to remove 6 inches from the bottom because of the weight of the dress. You're a brave woman to have taken on that project. Now you have a family heirloom.
I think this has to be the most splendid wedding dress journey I have ever had the privilege to see. The setbacks and frustrations are so tiny in comparison to the utter joy and splendor of this dress and this day. You are wreathed in love and I am beyond grateful that you have shared this so we can all feel this love wash over and celebrate with you ❤
The dress is tre chic. A perfect fit and beautifully crafted. Great, great work. You should be so proud.
You should have crocheted matching braces for your hubby.
@@cheekypiper512 😂
It looks gorgeous! You've created something so personal and special, and frankly an heirloom that your family can enjoy for generations if cared for properly. So wholesome!
Absolutely beautiful! Loved watching you lovely wedding!
I would have had to start knitting that dress by the time I was 2 years old and waited until I was 40 to get married.
The dress is stunning!
The fact that at a distance it so closely matches the elegance of lace, is just astounding.
Congratulations! What a beautiful dress, what a beautiful bride, and what a beautiful video. ❤ Your Dad's music made everything super special. Well done Dad.
I thought knitting was a dying art...you proved me wrong! I am so amazed at your talent , dediclation, patience and creativeness. The dress is absolutely beautiful! This is a dress you could pass down to your daughter! A real heirloom piece of art! Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventure!
No! It got quite popular by the youth 😊 lot of people I know are learning how to knit and crochet
Yep many are wanting to make and design their own garments, it also depends on what part of the world you live in too, in the Shetland’s and in the North of the world where winters are long and the days are really short during that time, knitting/crochet keeps you occupied. Knitting is part of our family life Grandma would knit 6 Shetland lace shawls in a night to sell as they were popular with the tourist it was what put food on the table the next day. So Mom and me Aunty grew up knitting from a very very young age Mom was 3 when she learned to knit. I was 11 took me longer to get the knitting bug😹😹😹
Knitting is very popular in Japan as well, they have some wonderful patterns and I have fallen in love with Afghan/Tunisian knitting/crochet which is done with just a long hooked needle. It’s so good to see a new generation learning the art.
Oh goodness no! It's everywhere. Have you been on ravelry? I knit for my own children and now grandchildren, even the young girls I know are knitting and crocheting. :) It's very much alive and well and becoming even more popular as of late.
With the backlash against fast fashion, knitting and sewing are really popular. There are many Facebook groups for various types of knitting.
The most beautiful wedding dress I have ever seen. Simply fantastic.
The bought ones usually look kitschy, overloaded and sometimes grotesque, like in a bad opera. 😂
This is honestly one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen, and definitely the most unique wedding dress I have ever seen. Your passion and talent really shines through on this project 💕 Can’t believe you did this with house moving and wedding planning to do still as well 😳 But you made it through and you did it!
What a stunning dress! I love the idea of getting married in a new home where one plans on building a life with their partner. And the fact that you made your dress just like you are making your home is poetic to me. Dreamy. May you have heath and happiness in your home and marriage! Thanks for sharing.
I loved this entire journey…blessings to you both…may your union be filled with joy, laughter, good health and comfort.x
This is sooooo beautiful. The whole concept. I love how original the wedding was. Wishing you a beautiful married life
Congratulations. I am in awe. My great grandmother made her wedding dress, and it's one of my mother's prized possessions. I hope that your dress is equally prized by generations to come.
It‘s wonderful! You can be very proud of it! ❤
Everything was so beautiful! I feel overwhelmed now and so emotional. The dress is amazing and so is the house. The party was great and seems you had a lot of fun! The music, all your friends, your house and family...in a video the only things that really matter in life ❤ My best whishes to you all.
Stunning! A very beautiful dress and Bride. Only a true artist could complete such a task with such devotion and emotion. Congratulations and a lifetime of happiness 👰🏻 🤵🏼
This is probably one of my most favorite wedding videos I’ve ever seen!

You looked absolutely stunning, your dress is perfection. Love the design you picked. Can’t believe you knitted so fast, a tribute too your craftsmanship. Thank you for involving us with your dress making and the wedding. Congratulations and may your lives be blessed with love and happiness.
RUclips must know I've always wanted to crochet my own wedding dress because it recommended me this video 🤣 I'm 8 months away and haven't taken the plunge yet, but your video is so inspiring I just may. I LOVE how your dress came out, absolutely gorgeous!! Congratulations for the house, the dress, the wedding, and not letting the stressful times stop you from achieving your goals!
Do it!!!
Learn from her, and start RIGHT NOW!!! If you do, you have plenty of time to plan your dress and the design, choose patterns and the yarn, and redo whatever mistakes or things you don't like without having the added stress of running out of time.
@@lucyk.5163 I agree!! You always have less time than you think you do!
You go girl, no matter what you will have a gorgeous dress🇨🇦❤🙏🙏🙏
Me too. 23 years too late. ❤
100 years from now someone is going to watch this video and say " wow that dress is so elegant, I wish I can find something similar!" Timeless and original, beautiful. Many many blessings on your new journey as husband and wife!
You guys got it 🙂 Congratulations! Moving and preparing a house for a wedding AND knitting the own dress with up's and down's.
You can do *anything* if you want ♥
Your dress is absolutely gorgeous! And you have a beautiful home. I hope for you both a ling and happy life. Congratulations!!🎉
What an absolutely stunning handmade wedding dress. Your hard work, set backs & frustrations demonstrate what occurs during the design process and seeing if a process depicts what you are envisioning. When it doesn't work, you undo what you've done and go back to the drawing board. You didn't give up, moreover you had other stressers, such as moving house, planning a wedding and the publication of your book. You're an inspiration. ❤️
Amazing beautiful bride
I have to admit, I was skeptical, but this turned out so elegant and lovely. The neckline, the flowy bottom, looks so feminine and beautiful. Well done!!
Just stunning, what a fabulous achievement ❤
Fantastic job on the dress and moving into your house. Getting your friends invited and family and decorating your house so beautifully. Thank you for sharing all this with me. It’s a very encouraging and exploration. We’re doing something a little different. Yay.
Girl, I've never seen any of your videos, but I was so invested, I could not stop watching! What an inspiration and how beautiful it turned out!
same
@@Eiramilah And me. I was going to just skim through to see what the dress looked like but I've sat here absolutely riveted through the whole thing. I haven't even touched my own knitting LOL.
I don't think I have ever enjoyed, watching a video on crocheting/knitting more, than I did this one. The fact you made your Wedding dress in 6 weeks is incredible. The dress is absolutely gorgeous, and you looked beautiful in it. Your home is also beautiful. Thank you, for sharing this part of your journey and Congratulations!
Just stunning. What a beautiful dress made to celebrate your wedding and the special love you share with your husband. What an incredible bank of memories you’ve created. Blessings
What an absolutely gorgeous dress!!!! I’m amazed that you designed & made it yourself!! So much talent. Congratulations!! 🎉
I'm so impressed with your ability to not just make your beautiful dress, but do a big move, plan a wedding and write a book at the same time... Incredible! I made my sister's wedding dress last year summer and when I was working on it, that's basically all I was able to do! 😅
Absolutely unbelievable what you accomplished in such a short amount of time. There’s no way I would have felt confident enough to take on the task of making my own wedding dress so close to the wedding date. It turned out stunning! Well done! 👏
WOW. JUST, WOW. Thank you so much for sharing, I only crochet and have always wanted to knit, and after watching this beautiful video, I am very much inspired to begin that journey!! Congrats to you both on you new home and marriage!! Blessings for you both!!
Simply amazing and beautiful! Congratulations on the dress and your wedding!
Ive been trying to get a man a house and get married and knit a sweater in 31 years and you do it all in 6 weeks 😂
You are amazing and so blessed🌷💜🙏
I love how you had your wedding at your new home!
Congratulations to you!!
