When giving something to a friend not relative like a horseshoe,
handkerchief or other small item to a bride without knowing the colour of
her gown etc are there any ideas people could tell of how they achieved that
without it looking out of place?

Good morning
I also agree with Jane.My daughters both chose ivory for their wedding
dresses but I would have thought that one of them would have chosen white as
she is dark haired and has quite an olive coloured skin. It all depends on

I think advance work could be done on design and samples of lace in the
early days, small items and threads and then you would be prepared to follow

especially the Tonder Heart. Which is appropriate. Both of my pare

Wow Lorelei, what size needles did you use? I am assuming you used gossamer
weight lace yarn? The solid areas look really "fine" with no holes, so I am
thinking very small gauge needles. All my Estonian knitting has been on size
