Spring Flowers


Here are a few examples of crocheted flowers that I'm making up as part of a joint "project" with my sister-in-law Maria. I'm using a #9 steel hook, which is fairly small. It was a little hard getting used to at first (my hand kept cramping-up on me!), but it's getting much easier. I've gotten about 25 flowers made so far. I make them at night while watching television. They are a pretty fast crochet and I especially love the effects I get with the variegated threads. The largest flower I'm doing is the size of a half-dollar and the smallest so far is the size of a quarter.

These are really pretty. I haven't really done any crochet, but it's one of those things on my list to learn. I have all the supplies to make granny squares...I've had the supplies for, oh, two years or so. Haven't picked up the crochet needle once in that time. Now that it's summer it seems to hot to make granny squares. Crazy, I know. But these little flowers could be fun to do in the summer...
