Bunches of flowers and knitters

Here are all the rest of the felted flowers and leaves. There are 3 gerbera daisies, one more tiger lily, and two leaves. I'm a little disappointed in the daisies. They seem kind of droopy. Some of you read my post about making the petals of the sunflower too short. I think the petals of the daisies are too long, although I correctly followed the pattern this time. Maybe I should have made these petals shorter as well. Anyway, I have delivered all the flowers to Yarntopia, and the last of saw of them, they were nestled into a crystal vase with their fellow poseys in the sit-and knit-area at the shop.


This next photo is of me, my niece Sarah, and Amy in absentia. (That is her bridal portrait.) Sarah is a knitter and a blogger. Since some of the readers of her blog didn't believe she was related to Amy, here is the proof. Sarah was visiting with her 3 children and her parents. Amy was way too swamped with shop preparation to take a day to come all the way out here in the country. She and Sheryl are really getting things into shape in Katy though.

Rub-a-dog dog, 3 things in a blog

First of all, you need to know that I connect to the internet through a dial up connection to a very small-time server. Everything takes a l-o-n-g time. So I put three things into one picture to save time with photobucket and blogger dashboard.

The picture shows the beautiful yarn I won in TabbyTuxedo's contest. It is Treasure Island Cotton Handpaint by White Lies Designs. Isn't it gorgeous!

Next to it is the ready-to-be-felted gerbera daisie that will go to join its kit mates in Amylovie's shop very soon. I am currently knitting around and around to make a bright pink one just like it. Soon to be followed by a blue and a pastel pink one. Things are moving very quickly since I have the pattern down pat now.

And resting underneath the two above items is the baby blanket I am knitting for my niece Devon who is expecting very soon. I'll give its vital statistics in another post. My husband is waiting for me to go for a walk, one of my other favorite things to do.
