Spring is here!


One of my students asked me about flowers, which prompted me to investigate them in a bit more depth. There are so many flower patterns to choose from - some of them so easy. I’d planned to start the group crocheting in the round the next week anyway, so I found a nice, simple one in Emma Seddon’s Rowan ‘Crochet Workshop’ and had a go myself. Then I had another go, and another, trying out all the different methods I knew for changing colours, finishing off and securing the ends as I went. By the time of the lesson I’d completed a veritable bouquet of demo primulas and decided to use them in an emulation of one of Nicki Trench’s patterns in her book ‘Cute and Easy Crochet’ for curtain tie backs. The joining chain is still on my hook! Piccies to come soon.
