Sunshine Challenge - Day Three - Lavender Rose

[smallhobbit]

Yesterday's sunshine_challenge was for the Bluebell.   After a long search I found a photo from April 2020:



But wanting to have a current response, I again went with the alternative which was the Lavender Rose.  We don't have any roses that colour, so I decided I would knit one:

Splendid --and I love the impulse to just knit one! 🌹

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I recently bought a book which had knitted flowers, so it seemed a good opportunity to use it.

That's such a cute rose! I can't knit anything, so I'm always impressed how creative people can be with it.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much :)

[debriswoman]

That’s lovely :-)

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much :)

That is so pretty, and you nailed the barely-there lavender shade of roses. :D

Re: Thoughts

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. It was fortunate I had that shade of yarn in my stash.

[pauraque]

Nice! How long did it take to make?

[smallhobbit]

Thank. I made it in 3 days, so probably about 3 hours.

SO BEAUTIFUL! Those would make excellent bookmarks/stocking stuffers!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I'm thinking I might have to make another later in the month, so it's a possibility.

That's lovely! ...I kind of want to eat it. owo;

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I wouldn't recommend it 😂

[adafrog]

Pretty!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you.

[shaddyr]

Oh! That's lovely! I understand in theory how to knit, but cannot make it happen.

Hmmm, I wonder if I could crochet one...

[smallhobbit]

I'm sure it's possible to crochet them. That would be beyond me!

[cornerofmadness]

that is so cool

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much.

[vriddy]

The knitted flower is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D I love that you just did it, it's lovely.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much :)

The wild bluebells are so pretty. Is that yarn sparkly? The little knitted rose is so cute. I didn't even think it was a thing that could be knitted (my lack of experience in yard crafts, I suppose). I love that you made it!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. Yes, it's sparkly yarn - I originally bought it for a unicorn for my granddaughter's cardigan. I recently bought a book on knitted flowers, so this seemed the perfect opportunity to try it out :)

This is SO cool! Not only the very neat picture you took, but you literally crafted a lavender rose, yay!! 🤩

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. The picture is an old one, but it was fun to craft something for the challenge.

[thepowerofdeath]

I love that you just decided to knit one. That is a fantastic kind of energy

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. I was stuck otherwise!

[binary_sunset]

Oh, I love that you knitted a li'l lavender rose! So cute!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much!
