Flowers and Book Meme

My favorite swap hostess, Anne, is having a contest over on her site. She wants to know what are your favorite knit patterns. She looking for something to knit. Of course, I gave her few sock patterns I like. Tell her I sent you and I'll be entered into the drawing 3 times.

Flowers
I don't understand why I'm not a daisy, bluebonnet or some other wildflower...

You Are A Lily

You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist. People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you. You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words. Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize.

What Flower Are You?

I do consider myself to be a loyal friend and I like making people laugh. Sometimes people don't get my jokes because I'm perceived as being a very serious person.
