My little sister is newly engaged, so it only makes sense to learn lace knitting and make her veil. (Don’t worry, I won’t come back in a year with a resentment post if she hates it). Currently my lace experience is one very simple triangle shawl....
Does she want a knit veil? I knit and crochet lace and I don't want either in my wedding outfit. Also, be sure what kind of veil she wants - there's different lengths, alone with a current trend for wearing capes made of gauze/tulle instead. Maybe ask her opinion on those motifs too.
What color is her dress? That yarn will probably look ok with ivory, and will definitely go with cream, champagne, etc. It won't match a bright white dress, nor the sort of sparkle tulle princess thing my sister picked out.
I think you can do it though. Lace knitting isn't that different from regular knitting, just more counting and yarn overs. Learn how to read lace charts before starting - I went in with a "how hard can it be, I do crochet charts" mentality and whoops, had to stop and look it up. Good luck :)
I usually start with Food Wishes, Serious Eats, or the New York Times. Julia Child for French food, Just One Cookbook for Japanese food. Budget Bytes when the bank account is looking a little thin. Dessert Person when I have a lot of time and want to knock the socks off my friends.
RecipeTinEats is one of my faves. Tasty, wide range of dishes up my cooking alley, and a little more complex than BudgetBytes, which is my other go-to but for dead simple and cheap but not bad food.
Thanks. I'm technologically dumb and have been working with a site link I made a button on my homescreen somehow - except I keep forgetting to close all the tabs cause it just opens a new one in my mobile browser everytime.
I had 0 chance of getting op's thingy to work on my own but what you suggested worked.

Like if I use an unfamiliar text box I always specifically type "samd" for some reason. I'm just curious if it's not just me or if everyone just keyboard mashes, or even thinks about it at all.
I’m just waiting for a friend at a place where there are only people I don’t want to interact with. And I’ve got a headache. Normally I’d browse garbage content mindlessly. Look at me fediverse, now I’m producing mindless garbage content!

Oh...I didn't realize until now that there were actual people on board. All the headlines said the submarine itself was missing and I wasn't interested enough to click.
