"Asking for Flowers"

One of my favorite singers is Kathleen Edwards, a folky, rocky, occasionally angry, awesome chic who sings about horrible break ups, house fires, and hockey. Her newest album is called Asking for Flowers and it's AWESOME. My band sings the title track and I was humming it today and then realized why- I am actually asking for flowers!

Here is what we've got so far...



And here is my new favorite book...



So not only are we asking for knitted flowers, but we'd love crocheted, and I've made two so far. I'm aiming for an entire vase full. I have a fun idea involving dowels for the stems. What color would thorns be?

We had lots going on in the shop this weekend. Check out the photos!







Marie sent me this F.O. Check out the adorable bees!



And a big thank you to George for making my pet christmas ornaments. I am LOVING the needlepoint, folks.







Send me any F.O.s you have and remember, we're asking for flowers! If you bring one in for the window, your name gets entered into the $50 gift certificate drawing. Have a great week, needle lady knitters!
