It's gotten to where I rarely use circular needles unless for some reason I absolutely have to. <br /><br />I agree - I'm usually not a fan of silk flowers, but for a gravesite it is the only type of greenery to use. Some had put fresh flowers out on mother's grave that had been there since maybe December, and it was a terrible feeling walking up and seeing dead flowers laying there. Mom always loved more of a 'wild' and 'natural' look in her flower garden, so our informal flower arrangement suits her resting place well, to me.

I feel I have better tension control (for some reason) on straight needles.<br /><br />The flower bouquet for your mom's grave site is lovely, Lisa. Although fresh flowers are beautiful, they just don't last long at all when out in the elements. The silk flowers we can get today look so real that it just makes a lot of sense to use them in certain circumstances.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247[email protected]
