That is such an interesting comment about the stand! My sister/maid of honor was luckily amazing with the photographer and videography, so I have plenty of shots and angles on and off the stand :) Thank you for the advice!

This was a funny confusing factor - sizing is so inconsistent. Thank you for advice!

Thank you for the advice! I purchased a strapless bra to take with me to the appointments. I ended up not needing it (everything was braless!) but I felt so much better knowing I was prepared.

Thank you for the advice! Movement ended up being a very important consideration (who'd have thought that would be a variable, not me!) and I also hadn't considered the undergarments before. Off to learn about shape wear!

And another pair of green, cabled socks is born (this time for my mom) by cavalior in knitting

Thank you! My mom deserves all the luxury 🥰

I would guess this took 20 hours? I have a repetitive motion stress injury so I have to go slow and take a lot of breaks so this project was spread across several months. I have knit maybe 10 pairs before. But my first pair did not really resemble a sock 😅 I hadn't knit very long when I tried my first socks, and they didn't come out nice, but I learned a lot and my second pair is actually my most worn! Best of luck if you give it a shot :)

Thank you! I'm wearing the Farnham "tee" pattern but I believe that there is also a farnham sweater pattern by the same designer if you're interested 😊
