Crochet Bamboo For Good Luck!

Posted by Danielle | Apr 28, 2010 | Amigurumi & Kawaii, Crochet Hacks | 3 |

Since bamboo is the perfect combination of strength and flexibility, it has come to represent harmony and balance in one’s life. As such, it is considered lucky in many Asian cultures. In fact, many people give bamboo as a house warming gift to bring good health to the recipient.

I like a lot of your work, and very interested, but the thought of paying postage etc puts me off, if I could buy it in the UK I would be happy, doyou have any outlets in the UK

I adore this knithack. I recently got married (March 13), and the center pieces on our tables were long, curled stems of Lucky Bamboo (and also purple gladiolas for a splash of color).

We chose Lucky Bamboo, because we are both clowns, and his clown name is Lucky and mine is Bamboo.

So this knithack totally made my day!
