Just a quick update as I have been playing with flower patterns from a new book lent to me by Mum.

 

"100 flowers to knot and crochet" by Lesley Stanfield.

 

I did actually get this book out of the library a while back after reading about it over at Attic 24,

but I think my limited crochet skills have improved slightly since then.

Nevertheless I am starting with the 'Basic Designs'.

 

These are two Hellebores, a small meconopsis and a sprig of mistletoe.

They are all made from some wool I had in, old embroidery wool I think,

but I am going to have to get more.

 

It's the colour that is important to me so I may need to hunt around a bit but will let you know.

 

 

 

The Asters are coming out fairly early and the colours are gorgeous. 

 

 

I love the purple and yellow combination with the Rudbeckia.
