Knitting Flowers of Rememberance

I discovered this excellent book for knitting and crocheting flowers (and a few fruit, veg and insects too). Over half term I tried making a few and it is fascinating to see the flowers come to life on the needles. I couldn't resist knitting this poppy ready for a heritage, remembrance layout I want to scrap.

I also made a ladybird, daisy, lavender and a rose bud. I hope to make several stems of lavender to create a bunch. These are ideal for decorating clothing but I think most of mine will find their way onto scrapbook pages. The great thing is they can be made will all those left over scraps of wool, and don't take very long to knit.
