Spring is the time of year when nature awakes. Dandelion is one of the first herbs to pop in Spring. For me, it is a symbol of the beginning of new season. When the sun is shining, the weather stays warm and you find yourself walking through a wild field, full of gold dandelion rosettes, you can’t stop smiling. It takes away heaviness of winter, clears the mind and spirit. And the green carpet of nature heals your eyes…
My knitted Afghan Dandelion Dance is dedicated to Spring and symbolizes new life.
