I am saddened by how powerless I feel and how I cannot offer any help during the war. Whether I'm sowing flower seeds in the garden, planting potatoes, or browsing in a bookstore, even I am knitting, I feel sorry. Sadness follows me like a shadow. Please, God, protect my friend.
I designed this motif with inspiration by apricot blossoms . (The name is "Apricot but some types that do not bear fruit.) The flower blooms at the end of winter, it sometimes mixes with snow has beautiful and The flower has a wonderful fragrance. We feel, spring will come.
Just as a small flower blooms from the bare snow, may you find small joys in your sorrow.
This motif is a little difficult.. It's a rare pentagon ( because the flower have 5 petals ) then you will need your art sense when connect them.

>> One point,
When I was checking, both my friend and my sis made the same mistake at the same point. It works fine as long as you don't get the very first stitch wrong.
