Crocheted Flowers – update
Recently I wrote a post about a book I saw online for making crocheted flowers. Imagine my surprise when I got a comment from the author - how cool! She gave a little more info about it, and of course said that it's a good book. :)
Browsing Amazon, I discovered that there are quite a few books on making flowers with crocheting, knitting, felting, beading....you name it. Flowers make great jewelry and accessories, so I think I will check out a few more books on crafting flowers and I'll report back about which ones I liked the best. Maybe I'll even make some flower jewelry to test out project ideas from the books.
I love the look of crochet flowers! I took a class on beginning crochet recently because I wanted to make flowers to decorate my daughter’s shirts and hair bows… but I had the hardest time learning. I just bought a book on crochet the other day, so I’ll be sure to try again, and it has a cute women’s tank top pattern with crochet flowers!!
Good luck learning! I had a hard time learning to crochet too, but now I really enjoy it. I think it’s easier than knitting, once you get the hang of it. Flowers are great for using up leftover yarn too…
