Roses are pink...

I have experimented with many crochet flower patterns over the last year and that includes a lot of roses, but I have just discovered what I'm sure is to be my favourite.  Once again Lucy @ Attic24 has proven herself to be my hero concerning all things crochet.  These beautiful small roses are exactly what I want for creating my next flower pot and as usual her patterns are clear and easy to read.  I've yet to check out a crochet blog that does not have Attic24 at the top of their lists - and a well deserved place it is, I definitely owe her a coffee!

Here is my go at following Lucy's rose and leaf patterns, best of all it didn't take long at all :D

Flower pot

I've been quiet today, fun with family, but I've finally finished my surprise! A lovely crochet flower pot, it's now off to my aunt who's still in hospital and had to spend her birthday there. It's the perfect present for someone who can't currently eat or have really flowers and after the success of my crochet bunny rabbit, which she loved, I think she will like this too.  What do you think?

Flower project

Just got a few spare seconds from baby sitting to show you a teaser of what I'm working on, it involves lots of flowers...
