My Grandfather was one of my favorite people in the whole world. When I think of him I don’t remember detailed accounts of his life because he died when I was young, but I remember sitting on his lap a lot while holding my favorite doll (named dolly) and that he had a giant vase filled with cattails at his door. Now I have dolls that combine th...

These roses are so fun you’re going to want to knit a whole bouquet! They are knit entirely in the round in 2 pieces. To finish, simply slide one layer over the top of the other and pop into shape by pushing upward (which pulls the petals together). BIG thanks to my son for the branch stem idea!
