Flower Power

Carol guessed right . . .

I am crocheting flowers. ๐Ÿ˜€

Here are my “practice” ones.

I laugh as I write the word “practice” because I am not a “practicer”.

I’ve never had any patience for practicing. It’s a character flaw – I know – but I can never wait to get to the main event – even if that means learning the hard way through my mistakes. ๐Ÿ˜‰

This time, though, I wanted to practice because I bought some rather pricey yarn for the project I have in mind. I decided I should probably make at least one flower with my scrap yarn . . .

But as you can see, I have a whole bunch of “practice flowers” here. (They’re addictive!)

This type of crocheted flower and the possibilities for using it are currently all over the internet. Soon, I’ll make another bunch using my special new yarn! Then I’ll join them to create a shawl. ๐Ÿ™‚ Oh, I am soooo excited about that!

A shawl of flowers!!!

Could anything be prettier!?!

For my shawl, I’ll be using a variety of “flower” colors. ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m actually looking forward to using something besides purple for a change!

Huh? Less purple? Did Crystal really say that?

(Yep, it’s true!)
