Helen of Tricôt

I learned knitting almost at the same time as reading, when I was 6-7. Since then I cannot stop and there is so much to learn and to knit. You are mostly welcome to share your opinions, ideas, achievements with me! I looking forward to communicate with you who share the same interest!

8. And here comes autumn. So unexpectedly, I have never enough of summer, especially recently, when I live in Sweden. But want it or not, one should do something about it. The first thing I did was a bouquet... of leaves.
It is actually quite easy, first you pick up some beautiful leaves of different colours and shapes, clean them if you want and start making "roses", wrapping one leave after another around the middle one. They are quite felxible but still should be treated carefully. At the bottom they are fixed by a usual thread. Some people advise to soak them first in glycerin, them they will not dry out and stay soft and shiny the whole winter. I could not find any glycerin so I just left them natural and they survived the winter anyway.

Several knitted rows can make my day, without it I feel it being wasted.
