A few months ago my Aunty gave me this book on knitted flowers. Some craft books are so seductively photographed that everything in it looks gorgeous and it’s hard to choose where to start. This book has more of the plain cousin about it, but don’t be deceived because the flowers in it are lovely (even if not brilliantly set up for cool photo’s) and what’s more the patterns are easy to read and attainable. So far I have knitted two anemones, another hybrid anemone and two (almost correct) chrysthanthemums. Watch out everyone it’s C’mas soon!

I love these! I’m a little addicted to any art form which takes its inspiration from horticulture. I have been toying with the idea of buying this book for a while now…..
Have a lovely weekend knitting flowers (amongst other things, I imagine)!

So you would recommend the book? Like Stephanie I’ve been pondering it.

They look charming, I’ve seen that book and must admit passed it by. Looks like the old saying never judge a book etc is true!
