Flowers in Winter--Judy

Over the past few months, i have managed to squeeze in the knitting of 2 little fuschia-like (in form, not color) flowers everyday, such that i now have a couple of hundred of them.  the purpose is to bedeck the small trees and bushes in front of our house in the winter.  ed put some of them up on a dead arbutus tree in the back yard and here's a photo of them.


they're simple to make: it takes about 10 minutes each if you are a competent knitter.  i think only acrylic yarn should be used because it resists water better.  the design was focused on not getting rain easily into them.  anyway, if you are interested in the instructions, i'll be happy to share them.  and i'll bring some of the product to the next meeting at penny's.  judy
