"Dear Dana Byerwalter , you look quite young to me . The more reasons (if any needed !) you might care for (y)our environment . There is no need for any more plastic soup thus we might as well omit the use of plasticbags and other plastic as much as (y)our possible . Please mind the words of the amazing old man (once young like you) Sir David Attenborough . "Don't waste." Thanks for your attention and thanks even more for your action upon it . One day you might be grateful to yourself having done this . Most sincerely with kind regards Erika P.S. if you feel like reacting to my appeal , feel free to do so . hashtag is it M.E. you're looking for on Twitter"

"You do not have to make petals. It's the way the material goes when you pull the thread tight, As loose or as tight as you'd like. You can exoperiment with the length and tightness, once you get the hang od it. -)"

It's way too hot to think about knitting this kind of stuff! My favorite winter wear accessory to knit is probably a scarf.

I love the yarn but am not crazy about the pattern. I have several other patterns that would work up beautifully in this yarn.
