Default Knitted Flowers?

Hello All,

I've just recently found this group, after spending much time searching for
knitting patterns for flowers - the 3-D sort that can be placed in a vase.
My daughter is already working on some Xmas presents, and is looking for
patterns.

Can anyone help? Please feel free to either post here, or email me
directly.

Thank you so much :-)

Moon

Thanks, Roger - those are more the type you might pin onto something, but
they're quite nice.

Hi there!

The premier issue (says display until March 21, 2006) of a Woman's Day
Specials publication called 'Easy Knit and Crochet Ideas' (magazine)
has a lovely set of knitted flowers. Perhaps it's available in your
area, or a library. The pattern is knit and they use the flowers for a
bouquet, so I'd think with some sturdy wire inserted in stems they'd
work in a vase.

Email me directly if you'd like me to mail you the pattern (I won't be
using it).

Michelle

Default Knitted Flowers? - Update

Ok - so far, I've learned that I-cords (the stem) are a dreary business :-)

My daughter and I are trying the Calla Lilies from Knitty.... she's finished
one in a worsted weight, it looks outstanding - and as soon as I can figure
where to post a photo, I'll add a link.

I'm trying one (hence the dreary I-cord) in a #3 cotton thread, which is
pretty similar in weight to the DMC Senso cited in the pattern.

Thanks to all of you, for being so welcoming, and helpful to my first post
here

making these on their website. www.interweavepress.com Here are some

Hello Moon, In the middle of posting an answer to you my computer quit on
my, sorry about that

Here are two books you may want to look at: Nicky Epstein's Knitted
Flowers. and the World of fFowers in wool, by Lily Veronica, as well as
Floral Knitting by Susan Duckworth...OK I can't count that are three
titles not two...LOL

Els


Thanks, Els

Eastern Edge is my new hero - she has some patterns that she's sending to
me... and my daughter (she's 14) and I found a book of 'just right' flowers
on eBay, so ordered that as well.

Should have quite the garden by Xmas!
