Yes, that really is what the cake says.
Hannah’s getting married next weekend! Somehow, she and I came up with the idea of having a bunch of knitters get together to knit her a boquet of Cala Lillies. Don’t ask me how. She was knitting a Cala Lily last weekend. I wanted to throw her some kind of little party before she goes off to Vegas to get hitched. Happy Flower Knitting was born (actually, that phrase came later, courtesy of Kristi).
We knit.
We had cake (obviously).
Anabel brought boba! Which made Hannah very happy.
All in all, 10 knitters showed up, so Hannah should have 10 Cala Lillies in her boquet, because Pauline, who couldn’t make it, knitted a flower while Abigail, who’s allergic to wool, knit a garter out of silk that Kristi spun.
Abigail might have gotten frustrated a few times…. Thanks Cindy for taking lots of pictures with my camera!
The Happy Flower Knitters! (Including Jeni, Freecia, and Lisa, not linked to elsewhere in this post, and Cindy’s daughter Ari, who I don’t think blogs…)
Kristi and I might have had a bit of fun wielding our limp Calas…
Here are the 5 I felted last night drying in the sun… (not everyone finished their flowers… yet.)
And here’s a close-up of my little flower…
All in all, a Happy Flower Knitting Day!
