Knitted Flower Project Reception

Last night was the reception for the project! I was delighted that so many friends and knitters were able to attend see the art, fondle the yarn, and eat snacks, including some of the 75 cupcakes my mom and I baked the night before! I have set up a Flickr album of all the images from the project including the images from the installation and reception. Please check it out and feel free to use images. Also, I am in the midst of finishing up the written portion of the thesis. I defend on June 4th and it should be done done done about a week later. I will send around as soon as it's approved.

Last Round of Flowers

The office staff had to stack boxes on top of the mail box slots - only reiterating the fact that I have the COOLEST research project out of everyone in the department, thanks to all of you! The flower above is from Reneé. It has the most delicate little stamen's at the center.
The above set, is from Robin and they are beautiful. The green one in the center is my fave. The set below is from Andi who threw some purls bumps in there to create a cool spiral effect. Very nice.
Finally, these purple blooms are from Julia and came wrapped up like a gift. They are beaded and buttoned and...bodacious? Yep, I am going to say bodacious.
Again, again, again, thank you soooooooooo much! I feel like I cannot thank you enough. I am giving a presentation about this research tomorrow at the Urban Arts Space in Columbus (also where I work) and I feel like all of you are going to be there through your brilliant comments and gorgeous flowers. THANK YOU!
