Who loves ya Daisy???


Hi everyone,

Two posts in two days!  I think this long bank holiday weekend is bringing some inspirational magic...  To be honest I intended to draft this post and publish it when I had nothing to say, but I just can't wait!!!!!

This daisy square came about because of a free gift in a magazine.  This came with an edition of 'simply Homemade' a few months ago now.


A flower loom isn't something I would probably have bought myself, but in a fit of boredom I decided to give it a try.  I got onto youtube to see how it worked (as the magazine is long gone) and made a couple of flowers.  I thought they were quite nice, but I didn't know what I would do with them.

 Then the 'what ifs' started...  you know the 'I don't like the middle of these flowers... what if I crocheted a middle?' what ifs...  I think all my patterns come from 'what if' moments.  So began my quest to create a flower loom crocheted square which utilised the best bit of the flower made from a loom - the petals - with a crocheted middle and an attached square.  And 'Who loves ya Daisy Square' is the result!



They're a wee bit fiddly to make, but oh so worth it I think.  You don't even need a fancy flower loom to make them; I found a great link to make a homemade flower loom here.   So if you fancy giving them a try here's a tutorial to get you started...

Who loves ya Daisy Square



I NOW HAVE A NEW WEBSITE AND THIS PATTERN CAN BE FOUND AT -

Enjoy!

I'm back at work tomorrow, so you may not hear from me again for some time!

Happy crocheting!

Karen

    Oh wow, that is very pretty. What a great idea to make a square around the flower.
    (sorry I have to say something nice again, I can't help it ;-)

    Groetjes, Monique

    What if you'd grabbed green instead of blue? A field of pretty Daisies. But blue grass is just as pretty.

    crocheted bag or knapsack!!!! Wonderful share thanx so much!
