If you are a knitter .... and that's your thing, you should definitely check out the "Knitted Wedding."

Everything at this wedding was knitted.  This included cameras,  the gown,  the food, the cake and decorations.  The bride is curator of the exhibition ‘Ceremony’, and Knitting Doctor, Freddie Robins. All knitters and their friends were invited to the wedding.  Guests were allowed to knit through the reception. People were allowed to send knitted items in to the couple and requested to have their names attached to their project.  "Why?" you ask.  Because this all will be shown later in a book called,  “ How to Knit Your Own Wedding” published by ‘Cast Off’.    For more pictures, ideas and treats visit their website:   CastOff.com

Oh and if you want knitting patterns, Cast off offers those too.  A few samples are below:  Please click the links below to download the knitting patterns as Word documents.

For more patterns you can also visit:   Knitting Pattern Central

 Something I saw on the News . . . 

I am not a knitter, however, if you are these may be just what you are looking for :  )  Especially if you do decide to knit your own dress.  They advertise "Enjoy knitting anywhere, anytime …day and night. Illuminates knitting with black, dark and fuzzy yarns.  The Knit Lite™ needles are color coded by size and are approx.13” in length.  Price: $15.95 a pair (2 needles), batteries included, plus cost of shipping, and tax if applicable.  The Knit Lite™ replacement batteries available at $2.49 for package of 3 batteries  (each pair of needles requires 6 batteries).  If interested you can order Or, visit  La Knitterie Parisienne in Studio City, CA.  1-800-2-BUY-YARN or call  1-818-766-1515

And, with the Holidays approaching:

Like to knit?  
Put your needles to good use for those in needs:

For Soldiers: http://www.TheShipsProject.com/Home.htm - They say slippers are what is in most demand along with hats that fit under helmets.

For the Homeless: http://www.WarmUpAmerica.org - Using the yarn remnants from the bottom of your bag, knit seven-inch by nine-inch rectangles, then send them in to be stitched into afghans for those who have lost their homes.

For Premature Babies:  http://www.CareWear.org - Sometimes half the weight of full-term newborns, preemies in neonatal units need tiny mittens, bootees and hats.

For Troubled Teens: http://www.BinkyPatrol.org - Every kid deserves a security blanket, be it a binky or bedcover : )

Have you seen the Cup Cake Gown?

Isn't this the sweetest gown ... pun intended :  )  There are 478 cupcakes in the dress. This is from a photography exhibit in Australia called “Shoot the Chef.” A full, multicolored cupcake gown.  The flowers - roses and gerberas, mainly - were all fresh.  The "skirt" took about three hours to build. It was an exercise in putting a lot of beautiful elements together to explore the idea of femininity.

I would want two of these... one to eat and one to wear.  And, I bet it's a safe bet this doesn't come in a size 10  :  )

 Another Excellent Bridal Site:  Chrys Cross Bridal

This is a really nice bridal gown site. They have very unique looking gowns and are offering many "on sale" (their Winter Sale). Below is a sample of a $1,000.00 gown going for $499.00! Worth checking out! Visit the Bridal Site Here

This beautiful dress is a brand new, design original! The dress is made with Lustre Satin and delicate lace. The skirt is kinked with hidden crystals from below. The lace jacket features small cap sleeves and a soft satin underlayer with a sexy, ultra-low neckline.The second picture shows the dress from the back, but without the underlayer on the bodice. The actual bodice has a satin underlayer that covers the lower half of the back under the lace.

That's My Topper offers an extensive collection of figurine, fairy tale, Asian, whimsical and monogrammed cake toppers in a range of prices to suit any budget. Below is the Monogrammed Crystal Bowl Cake Topper which I think is just beautiful.

• Let this beautiful cut crystal bowl inspire your creativity. Fill it with flowers, colorful candies, sand and shells or even a swimming goldfish!
• The engraved monogram symbolizes that you are now together as one and makes for a keepsake that can be displayed for years to come.
• Measures 4.5" tall with a 2.5" wide opening. The engraved area is 1.5" x 2".
• This piece weighs 1.5 lbs. when empty. Talk to your baker to see if the weight is appropriate for your cake top.
• Because this product is personalized, it cannot be returned or exchanged unless damaged during shipping.

The nice thing about this particular cake topper is it can be reused for another event or even to hold small flowers or candies later.  Let's face it -- you can't do much with the bride and groom toppers  :  )
