Oh my goodness, we Bronco Fans are speechless. That was a brutal game! The Seattle Seahawks came out and dominated the Super Bowl. Broncos couldn't do anything to get their game on! That was a rough one to watch! Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, it did. The Seahawks had the midas touch yesterday, and they deserve the big celebration! New Jersey and New York really put on a spectacular show. Well, there's always next year...
I thought I would keep my needles clicking through the game...not so much. I was up, pacing, and sharing choice words with my team...as if I were right there in the stadium. However, before and after the game I tackled a small project...knitted Rosettes.

I had not tried something like this before, so the challenge was part of the allure. They were easy and fun to make. The directions suggested placing a pearl button in the center of the rosette, but I think I might place a real pearl instead. I haven't finished weaving in the ends or finishing the back, and I was surprised that the directions don't include how to finish the back. Do I sew on a pin (clasp) or knit an I-cord loop on the back to run a scarf through... or what?? Any ideas out there?? The picture on the pattern shows this rosette attached to a beautifully knit lacy scarf...but how??
I think the loop idea is good. Then you could move the rosette from scarf to scarf. Both are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the Broncos .....as an Eagles fan, I feel your pain. ;-)
THere in lies the rub. THat attachment part is the toughest… you don't want ends dangling….and all.
ReplyDeleteAs a Chicago Cub fan I know your PAIN
Those are the cutest little adornments...I could see them used in so many ways.

I like 'em, too; can you share the pattern? I sometimes make mini-sweaters out of leftovers, but flowers would be a nice change.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely. I like the top one the best because of the variegated yarn If you want these to wear with a scarf, I would attach a drapery ring to the flower so the scarf could easily be threaded through the ring. I'd use a ring the size of a nickel or quarter.
ReplyDeleteThere was a very big celebration today here in Seattle, and the sun even came out! Love your rosettes!
