While browsing around Etsy, I saw these beautiful handspun pussy willows made of merino wool and cashmere. I remembered that my mom used to always pick pussy willows when we were younger, and I thought they would make a great mother’s day gift.
The Etsy ones are $20 a branch, which is insane. And as you may know, if I think I can make something myself, I will. After some searching, I found this free pattern on Berroco’s site: http://www.berroco.com/exclusives/centerpiece/centerpiece.html.
I’ve been working on it using heavy worsted yarn that I had in my stash. The buds are coming out much larger than intended, and the wire I’m using is bending under the weight. I haven’t figured out how to compensate yet. I’ll post some pics soon.
