Patience….

Cotton Candy rhododendron – a very beautiful example of an “edged” flower.

…. is a virtue.  Just not one we often practice.  I hope that Roses, Roses will be worth your wait.

For those of you just joining us.  There is a Ravelry Group here.  There you can find help if you need it and just some fun conversation with other like-minded knitters.  You will need to be a member of Ravelry to download the pattern pieces.  There is no charge to join Ravelry.

Section 1 is here.  It is either end of the long center section.  Both pieces are identical and start with a provisional cast-on.

A sneak peek at the Center panel – a heavily beaded Lattice pattern.

Section 2 will be released June 30th.  This will be the middle sections of the long center piece.

Section 3 will be released July 14th.  This will be the long side edges.

Section 4 will be released July 28th.  That will be the finishing ends.

The plan is in place.  Let’s get the party started.

Happy Knitting

Cotton Candy Rhododendron, each flower is approx 3 inches across – each cluster almost 8 inches across – stunning.

Badges – and Fun “Stuff”!

Our badge – to use when setting up our project pages on Ravelry!

One of the things that I really like about a KAL is the other “Stuff” that comes along with joining a group!  We get to have badges: a secret handshake (what – no secret handshake – I’m outta here!): and most importantly, a shared experience.

We can angst over colour and bead choices.  We can consult about yarn and really which one would look better done in the pattern.  Did you know that there is a site on the internet – Images of Roses – that shows Roses of every colour and description!  Including some incredible images of black Roses.

Purple Iris beads

My Roses are pink, edged with purple iris beads – the iris colours include pink, purple, teal and look almost black!  What will your roses look like?  We will soon see.

Happy Knitting

Everything is coming together!
