Silvia's fun challenge this morning was to make a tiny treat and a tiny card. Well, it just so happened that yesterday when I was looking through one of my knitting booklets, I spotted these little flower pins - it's one of Jean Greenhowe's designs. Took about 3/4 of an hour, including finding some green wool, and the stuffing which I had just put away, and safety pins.
My little card to go with it is 2" square, from a scrap of green Bazzill on the table. I just cut the white layer with the Cuttlebug Vintage die, and added a little punched daisy with sponged edges and a soft foam centre. I could have sworn I had some lovely deep yellow self-adhesive paper, but it didn't want to be found.

The pin you've knitted makes a wonderful treat, and the tiny card to go along with it is just perfect! And only 2 inches square (same size as mine! tee hee!). I love to see perfection in miniature, and you've done a great job!

Love this. I have looked all over for a small flower to knit, as I love the crochet ones but couldn't crochet. Got out a book, tried to learn crochet and then used a flower pattern and after many attempts, by golly I crocheted a flower. But I would still love to knit one! This is a wonderful gift and card set. Very pretty colors. TFS. : )
ps. Very strange about the missing Jolly Sparrows. I wonder where misplaced mail ends up!
