I’m in the “knit all the time” mind frame these days . I have knitted a bunch of flowers, please check out the pictures. However I’m kind of stuck and need some help. What can I do with these knitted flowers? What kind of things can I make with these flowers. The one thing that comes to mind is headbands, but I need more ideas friends.
Any and all suggestions are welcome. Please help!
I have been soliciting ideas from my Etsy fellow crafters and blog readers for what craft items can I create with the knitted flowers that I made last week (http://www.thethinthread.com/2013/knitting-in-2013-new-beginnings/).
