The heart revealed these three gems
Thanks Debbie! I also spent Saturday putting the flowers together with the "research assistant":
I never get tired of playing with the hot glue gun!
Now, for the final discussion:What do you think? Did you enjoy participating in this project? If so, why? If not, why not? What was you favorite part? Your least favorite?There will be a few more posts so please check back. I will keep you updated on the exhibition process, any new flowers that arrive, and the thesis process. One last reminder that the deadline to submit comments and flowers is March 31 (mail the flowers about five days before March 31). Finally, I have postcards for the exhibition! If you submitted some flowers or commented and would like a handful of postcards as a keep sake or to give to friends (or both) please send your snail mail address to knittedflowerproject@gmail.com and I will send some along! I hope all of you can attend the reception on April 24th at Wonderknit.
I was thrilled to participate in this project. I loved hearing how others view their knitting. The flowers were easy to make. The hardest part for me was getting them ready to mail to you. I'm looking forward to reading your thesis and seeing the exhibition.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed every aspect of the project ans I am so glad I got to take part, I wish you lots of luck with your thesis!!
ReplyDeleteI had fun! Used up some scrap yarn. Liked leaving comments about the questions, really loved reading everyone else's comments. Can't wait to peruse your thesis, wish I could make it to the exhibition.
ReplyDeleteI had fun! I like to write, and your topic is something I love, so it was great for me! I think my favorite part was seeing my flowers on the blog. I know I am not famous, but my flowers are! Yippee! Seriously, I only hope that you had fun with this. I can't wait to see photos of the finished project! I was a little bummed that aI didn;t seem to keep up with teh discussions in a timely manner. . .but I think I did answer almost every question! I hope you score well. . .
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed working on this project. One thing I will always remember is being on the couch sick, watching the Inauguration of our new President, and the only thing I had enough energy to knit where little flowers. :-) Thank you for sharing your project with us Molly. Jimmy and I can't wait for the reception celebrating all the lovely artwork.
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed it. I looked forward to what question you were going to ask next and anticipating my own answers. I also loved reading everyone elses response. The flowers you have posted in the pictures are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it but I'm sorry I wasn't more active.....damn hospital!!!!
ReplyDeleteI loved participating in the project! I wish I had discovered the project earlier! (I've only had a couple weeks) Of course I enjoyed knitting the flowers, but also looking at knitting in a different way. The blog questions really made me think about the history of knitting and how as women we continue the tradition, but in a modern way. I like how knitting has become a creative art as well as a traditional craft. I also liked being a part of a community of knitters whose individual work will together inspire others and different thinking about knitting.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed knitting the flowers, it was fun to find use for the scrap ends of yarn I save because they are too pretty to throw out (especially loved the ones I made with the Noro ends). I was sorry to not keep up with the discussions as much as I'd hoped, but I know life gets in the way. I always freeze up when trying to define things as "why do you do this" because I'm so conditioned by my family and even some friends to expect to be told that I am "wrong", so answering some of the questions was more difficult than it had to be. But I learned I could answer the questions, and if anyone here told me I was "wrong" I didn't see the comments that came after mine (yet) :) I am very excited to see the installation and looking forward to the reception.
