Spring is definitely started in Germany! Thank you for the link, the photo of Crocuses was very pretty!
I had wanted them for years because I hate waiting at yarn stores for the sales people to ball up my purchases. And nobody I knew had one of their own. It has been a very worthwhile investment for us. I highly recommend owning your own set if you have the space to store them. I got lucky, we ended up with a spare room after my brother moved out so crafting stuff gets stored there now.
