It’s been years since I've crocheted something. My mother taught me how to make a few stiches when I was a little girl…then later I taught myself how to read a pattern enough so that I could make one cotton thread doily. Years ago I made 2 baby blankets. They were made single crochet in 12” blocks. I made a pattern for each square and counted stitches to make the pictures. I finished the blanket as we drove to Nebraska, where I was presenting the blankie to the new mom. I had Ted stop along the road and walked into the harvested corn field and had Ted snap a picture. There’s a tree, cow, heart and house.
Before that I had made another blanket for another baby.
This picture I took on our dining room table. Again, it is single crochet and worked up by my homemade sketch. It was a matter of changing the color of yarn to create the picture. Now, again I have this urge to crochet. So I picked up at our local library the book Crocheting for Dummies and taught myself to read a pattern. It is not hard. Here is what I have done in just a few relaxing minutes. Flowers….I want to make a neck wrap by attaching flowers. I was inspired by a pin I pinned on my Style Pinterest board. I've just discovered Pinterest and am not quite sure how it all works….but I think it is about gathering and sharing a few of our favorite things. I found Pinterest quite my accident when one day I found several of my blog pictures pinned onto other peoples boards. I’m glad you like them….Go for it! I don’t know how to transfer those pins, so if you would like, you can re-pin on my new board.
The idea is to make different flowers. I think I will also use some gathered-into-a-flower bits of vintage doilies for a neck wrap. The theme is all about flowers.
