so there i was, knitting constantly...

...when this happened...

and i was VERY put off by this monstrosity that had jumped off my needles.. so i gave up on knitting for a while..

stumbled across a flower making tutorial and despite the fact i am NOT a flowery person, i became OBSESSED!

i didnt really want to attach them to anything of mine (not being a flowery person) so i decided to make them into broaches..

they make really nice gifts...
