It's been ages since I've posted (or commented on your brilliant creations, I'm sorry to say), I've had so many ami's to make, but finally I'm getting something up here! Yay! And a pattern too!! WooHOO! I'm on a roll! ;o)
No Water No Worries African Violets
Happy Mother's Day to all!
I wanted to make an African Violet for my sister for Mother's Day, remembering how much I used to enjoy growing them. They're a bit fussy as to moisture and light needs, so they aren't the easiest plant to grow successfully and I thought that a nice knit one would be a great substitute for her. :o) No worries about watering or humidity or feeding or how much light it gets. Yay!
My dear friend, who also loves to knit (check out her creations here
www.chiwaluv.blogspot.com), liked my wee plant so much that she wanted to make one of her own, so I wrote up this pattern for her, while I still remembered what I did and while I still had the plant, so I could count rounds and stitches. And as a nice Mother's Day surprise, thanks to my friend, you all get to have the pattern too - so you can all have African Violets on your windowsills, or wherever you'd like to have them! :o)
No water, no worries! Yay!
