4:41 Challenged

Remember that challenge I threw out there from this post?

I challenged anyone to beat my time making a rose.

Lickity-split an adorable and talented young lady took me up on the challenge 

and sent this:

"Hello,

I have tried twice to break your amazing granny rose time, but the pressure got to me both times.  My first time was 4:48, and my second time was 4:51.  I started to get nervous, the yarn would start to squeak, my arms would start to shake, and I would make a lot of mistakes.  I saw in the comments of your post that you told someone to email you the time anyway, so I thought I would do that as well.

Here is a picture of the rather bedraggled-looking rose from my best time.  I closed up the center hole after I had stopped timing myself so it would look better for the picture.

Isn't that charming?

I'm not sure anyone can beat her time!

A package full of surprises will be

 sent to Claire this week, 

and a little something for her mother, as well.

I would venture to guess that Claire is my youngest follower. 

My heart swells with pride.

Thank you for the interest and dedication to the rose,

Claire, your rose is simply beautiful!
