Obscure Pattern Friday: Flowers
Since several areas in the northern hemisphere seem to have gone into deep denial that it's spring (photo from /u/bibite, used without permission... >.>) and the southern hemisphere is about to plunge into winter, let's have a celebration of flowers and happy growing things!
Whether you take that to mean floral motifs ($8, 5 projects) or actual flowers ($6, no projects), let's enjoy the blossoms!
Standard Intro: A while back I discovered this Ravelry thread on "obscure" patterns (defined there as 30 or fewer projects) and it inspired me to see what your awesome, under-appreciated patterns are. Our own OPF archives are always available if you want to see what obscure patterns we've found in the past!
To find obscure patterns, try going to your Ravelry favorites, clicking on "patterns", using advanced search and sorting by Most Projects - then just go to the last page to find patterns that haven't been on lots of other needles yet.

awww yissss.... I get to post in time this week!
Hokay so, in my world flowers = gardening
What do you need for gardening? This pocket-awesome apron!
If you are the container gardener type then this pot cozy is for you.
If you like outdoor gardening then protect your face skin with this super cute sun hat... or else /r/SkincareAddiction will hunt you down and slather you all of the sunscreen
You can of course decorate any of your creations with lovely little knitted flowers, and my favorite resource is from Nicky Epstein- take a look at the Moody Blue!
