The perfect rose

Seldom you find a pattern that fits so well into your fingers, as if it is one you designed yourself. Searching on the net for flowers I found a rose ..... the perfect rose

I loved it ....

it must be pink ....

a wreath of pink roses

Then I had to search for the right pink to make the "perfect" roses.

One day I walked into a shop and there it was, the right pink for the perfect rose. It is Katia mississipi 3, a cotton I learned to really appreciate.

  Here it is, Above the picture of the yarn there is a link to all the colours.

Only pink roses were maybe too much, so I added red, also of Katia mississippi 3.

A mix of green yarns were chosen to cover the styrofoam circle.

At this point I was thinking of making leaves, maybe the pink will be too much, not for me though.

I was looking for roses leaves and tried a few, but eventually I wrote a pattern for myself. There are many very good patterns for rose leaves, but I needed them to fit with my roses.

The beginning of a rose wreath, not yet there but almost.
