Puffs of the Day

So the sunflower I did yesterday, before the Endless ones, but didn't post about it because I was way too excited about the other ones. It was made using duplicate stitch at the center of puff and then random daisy stitches for the petals - am loving how it turned out.

The rose and the cup have a bit of a story to them - the yarn came from the stash of my maternal grandmother and the embroidery patterns are from an old book of my paternal grandmother’s (just cut-outs pasted into a notebook, but I’ve known some of these since I was small). I thought it was a very nice way to remember them by combining what they've left me in this way. Both of them were instrumental in teaching me needlecrafts, so it's entirely appropriate that they be part of my hexi-blanket. Can't wait to show these to my mum!

Technical note on the cup puff - the original chart wouldn't fit on the puff, so I counted one half knitted stitch as an embroidery stitch and used the back stitch, and then it worked. Yay!
