Knitting Primulas

I have been knitting flowers all week, but first things first.

2 weeks ago our car finally had a major break down, yes the breaks went and we decided to buy a new car...

Dh had done tons of research on the net, we narrowed it down to 2 models, 2 different manufacturers.

Hyunday versus Honda.

In the end, Hyunday Elentra won for the best interior comfort the best price and the friendliest sales lady. All was done over the phone and we went to pick it up Thursday...

So new...Am still in shock...

So shiny that you could shave yourself...

There it is in the driveway, pointing in the right direction, dh keeps asking if I need a ride anywhere!!!

In between all these negotiations and major purchase I knitted primulas...

Last Sunday as I was walking by the patches in the garden I was drawn to knitting the spring.

Presenting the last of the series,

The Primula Hat.

I am very happy with the results, it was worth the entire week of knitting 64 flowers!!!
In my head, and now on it, I visualized something out of an Esther Williams movie, something full, something with motion still in it, just like the blooms in the wind, which is still icy by the way.

So there they are made of Plassard Alpaga, thank you Mom for the early Easter present, and the colors are just so right.

The base hat has the same construction, a multidirectional band, pick up stitches on the band with little flaps and objects inserted so they keep their movements.

Don't the daffodils look great next to it...Maybe I feel up to the challenge of daf knitting...
