Flower Power
While I was at the Wool Pack today trying to get a replacement screw for my swift and looking for sweet little indulgences for my secret pal a couple patterns on the front table caught my eye. Cute and sophisticated knit flowers called Meadowsweets. They're a creation of one of the staff members and form the basis for a quick (and an inexpensive $15) weekend class. They immediately gave me the idea to knit corsages for my wedding. Instead of real flowers that would wilt or silk flowers that would just collect dust, these little knit beauties could become heirlooms; pins that our mothers and grandmothers could attach to a purse, hat, or coat and wear for years. They're that nice. I just have to remember to sign up for one of the classes before it fills up.

sounds like a very cool idea. I can suture stuff for you if needed :) But no knitting...sorry.

I love the idea. It'll be a lovely reminder of your day for years to come. And much better than live flowers that wouldn't live out the week!
