Just Fuchsias (No. 208)

This pattern is currently out of print but may still be available from your local yarn shop or one of the online stores.

This is a delicate, beautiful, flower that will make any bag, gift box, sweater, or jacket more lovely with its presence. Fuchsias are complex, layered flowers that come in a seemingly endless array of color combinations. While this pattern offers only two colorways (both of which can be found in nature), you will likely begin to think of more possibilities as soon as you start to knit. Made with a single strand of worsted weight yarn, this flower is delicate once felted. Choose to make only a single flower on a single stem, or multiple flowers on one stem.

Pattern Difficulty Level: Intrepid beginner/Intermediate-Advanced. These flowers can be accomplished by anyone who knows how to knit and purl. However, they do require use of small holders, double-pointed needles, and short rows.

Cascading Fuchsias Market Bag (No. 114)

In these days when many are trying to reduce their carbon footprints, driving hybrid cars, and taking shorter showers, it’s nice to have a great-looking shopping bag for the market. I’ve designed three different sizes for those differently sized visits to the farmer’s stand or grocery store. Small for those times when you only need butter, chocolate, and heavy cream for that delectable dessert; Medium when you need fruit, a few select cheeses, and a bottle of wine or sparkling water; and Really Big for those trips to the Farmer’s market and all the tasty treats you find there: organic tomatoes, fresh goat cheese, scones made this morning, and other lovelies. Unlike its cousins, the really big bag has two handles that slant toward each other, so it can be carried easily in your hand or over your arm, and it won’t tip all your cargo out onto the floor.

The cascading fuchsias turn these unstructured, easy-to-make bags into sculptural works of art. Let your creativity take the lead as you dream up wonderful combinations (all found in nature) for this botanically-correct version of the fuchsia. Then twist and twine long I-cord stems to make beautiful designs on your unique market bag.

The Unfurling Rose (No. 203)

This pattern is currently out of print but may still be available from your local yarn shop or one of the online stores. Another one of Noni’s most popular patterns, the unfurling rose is the most sculptural Noni flower. It can be as audacious as the camellia, or as subtle as the jasmine flower. It can appear a rose just unfurled, or one that hides nothing.

Put one toward one end of your sassy tube baguette. Put two on the smallish carpet bag. Put them all around the top of your lattice bag. Put them together with all the other flowers in a wreath or on a Noni backpack. The possibilities are as endless as the rose’s beauty is boundless.
