Sunshine's Note: If you
are planning on choosing your own colors you will need 1 skein Lola for the
cast-on stitches behind the Bossa nova roses.
Each Bossa Nova rose takes about 3 strands of Lola thread.
(One skein of Lola will give you about 19 strands)
32 Roses - I recommend at least 5 colors - 1 skein each Or a total of 6 skeins
Lola for the roses. That does not include the frilly part of the roses -
you will need that extra skein of Lola.
You will need 2 skeins Iris for the leaves.
One skein of Iris for the cake lines.
You can use any metallic thread to replace the Candlelight. I just like
it's softness, sparkle and ease of stitching.
Choosing beads is the fun - any small bead the color that will match your thread
colors.
