It's so easy to smudge your work with just the natural oils on your fingers, I can't imagine how to keep this large of a project tidy on a bus. I imagine she must have have a good bag to convey it in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/she-knit-her-own-wedding-dress#post-1369007 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 05:22:29 +0000 labelzilla 1369007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For you crocheters, how does one wrangle that much yarn at once and keep it all clean and tidy? Buses aren't exactly roomy. Is this something that would be crocheted in panels and then pieced? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/she-knit-her-own-wedding-dress#post-1368905 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 01:56:41 +0000 Thistle 1368905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Gorgeous dress, and amazing that she made it on her bus ride. What a terrific use of time.

My mom and paternal grandmother sewed a lot of my dresses, growing up, and my mom is into needle-painting now.
