I started by making a few by way of a stash buster. I used a pattern from Simply Crochet magazine but you can find plenty on the internet
They grew and grew
But joining them, well that was another matter, I just couldn't decide, I joined, then ripped back again and again
so instead I just kept making other projects, and looking at them every so often
Then I had the daft idea to start another…..
so I made more….
and more….
Eventually I had something approaching 350 individual flowers
Now I have two joined and have begun to join the third
Well I have laid them out at least
And believe it or not I have started planning a fourth. I cannot deny it, I am addicted to African flowers
it is stunning..................mmm should I go for African flower when I have finished my current throw in solid granny sq , oh, and then the blue baby blanket.....we will see
ReplyDeleteTricia they are not the fastest make, but they do look gorgeous
DeleteBeautiful, I love how the African flowers look (though I've yet to crochet any myself). Jean
