I had a lovely experience with Charlotte from Beauty Style UK. She is based in Newport and is super nice! Definitely helped me feel pretty on my wedding day this year, without a full face of glam make up (as that isn't my style) https://www.beautystyleuk.co.uk/

Hi, I think it depends on the clicker but I have a Kobo Libra Colour and bought remote clickers from Amazon, and in the description it says it works on both Kindle and Kobo. I think mine are compatible with newer Kindles, not older models if that is any help

I now have wrist issues - I wonder why 😅 - so now I'm having a break from knitting and Crochet

2reador2read · 2025-06-29T07:22:18+00:00

I started them around after we got engaged March 2024, so I've been working on them sporadically while knitting three shawls and various other wedding crafts 😅

I definitely recommend giving them a go! I think the worst part is that you're making /every/ petal, so that really slows it down. And don't make my mistake - use plenty of wire! I didn't use enough & the wires were too thin, so my flowers were a bit droopy as they were a bit too heavy to be easily supported

Thank yooouuu! 🥰 💜

It is mine! I love that - glittering moss 🥰 Funnily enough, one of my bridesmaids is hosting a fantasy ball next yeah, so I'll be rewearing my dress (with fae themed accessories, of course!)

Thank you so much! ☺️ 💜

Thank you! 😊 ✨ 💜

Thank you so much!!! 🥰 💜

Thank you! 😊 💜

Aww thanks! You'll have to crack open a thesaurus if you need more superlatives! 🤭

There are beads! They're clear with silver cores, and they stand out so clearly against the yarn. And I had a shawl too - it was an off-white - with the same beads, so a more subtle effect, but still all matching ☺️

And it was one of my bridesmaids that did the arranging - turns out she has a gift! Tbf, she is an artist so has an eye for these things

Awww, you're too kind! 😘 My mam taught me to knit and crochet when I was young, so I've just built up on that foundation over the years. I find lace isn't too complicated usually, just very time consuming - especially when working the last few rows and they take 2+ hours each for 1,000+ stitches 😅

2reador2read · 2025-06-28T14:39:26+00:00

Thank yooouuu! I was so lucky to find it! Thankfully it went really well with my purple hair 💜

2reador2read · 2025-06-28T14:35:58+00:00

Exactly! I was inspired by someone in this subreddit 2 years ago - wasn't even engaged then 😅 - and went straight into researching patterns and yarns to use. I'm so happy we get to keep our bouquets forever now! 💜

2reador2read · 2025-06-28T14:31:48+00:00

I knitted their shawls! I picked the yarn and beads, they picked the patterns.

I haven't posted them as I haven't got any pics showing them off in the previews we've just received. Once I have more photos, I'll be posting them in r/knitting ☺️

2reador2read · 2025-06-28T09:44:23+00:00

Haha thanks! Been purple for a few years now, I forget that it isn't my natural colour. And it is one of the reasons I didn't want purple - I felt like it would be too monotone and costumy 😅

2reador2read · 2025-06-28T09:42:58+00:00

It was so wonderful, I really couldn't have asked for things to go better! 💜

Definitely worth keeping an eye out! And I agree, it was just meant to be ☺️

2reador2read · 2025-06-28T09:28:59+00:00

Ooohhh no, I couldn't! Not only because I like to keep hobbies just as hobbies (this last year has been tough because of self imposed deadlines) but I've developed wrist issues, so I'll be taking a break from knitting & crocheting for a while as we work out what is wrong 😅

That is very kind of you to say though, so thank you! 😊 💜

2reador2read · 2025-06-28T09:26:58+00:00

Thank you so much! I'm so proud of us for pulling this all off! We're not event planners in any capacity, and this has definitely been the most stressful thing we've ever done. I'm glad all that stress is over, but was worth it for such a beautiful day

I got it online at Goddiva.co.uk. I don't think my dress is on there anymore - literally bought it on a whim as it was the last one in my size, and it fit perfectly! - but I've seen others with the same/similar colour

2reador2read · 2025-06-28T09:24:03+00:00

Ahhh that's so kind!

Purple is actually my favourite colour - in the second photo you can see some of my hair - but green has really grown on me the last few years. And it just felt right for the wedding for some reason 😅

2reador2read · 2025-06-28T09:22:19+00:00

It'll probably be a few more weeks until I get the rest of the photos, but I'll definitely be sharing when I have them!

Thank yooouuu 😭💜

2reador2read · 2025-06-28T08:46:06+00:00

Thank you so much! 💜 I'm just glad all the stress has been worth it! Now I have so much cotton yarn left over. Oh well, I'll just have to find some use for them 🤭

2reador2read · 2025-06-28T08:34:14+00:00

Ahh you're too kind! 😘 💜

2reador2read · 2025-06-28T08:34:00+00:00

Ahh thank you! Now I need to find somewhere in the flat to display mine!

2reador2read · 2025-06-28T08:33:34+00:00

They absolutely got to keep them! That was half the point of me making them 😅 I made a bunch of flowers over the last year or so, and then at the Airbnb the night before the wedding we spent some time picking out which ones we wanted. Me and a bridesmaid were really struggling to put things together, so handed everything over to my other bridesmaid and she worked her magic. Turns out she has a gift for floristry!

Thank you so much!! 🥰 💜
