Crochet Flowers

A couple of days ago I received this book

that I have ordered it through Amazon.

It's AMAZING!

Inside you can find instructions for every flower that you can imagine! And it also has patterns both for knitting and crocheting. My knitting skills are still in their baby steps, but seeing the wonderful things that I could do, I may give it one more try.

So, last night I put out my crochet hook, lots of yarn and got to work. It was more difficult than I thought it would be. You see, I can't really say that I am familiar with all the abbreviations nor all the stitches, I don't know all their actual "names" to tell you the least. It has been a little disappointing! I thought that I'll never get it right e.t.c. but after a lot of try and error I ended up with these and I'm proud of myself.

Not perfect nor as good as the ones shown in the book, but at least they are decent enough and a lot different than the more simple flowers that I've been making until now.

Do you see the "kind of rose" on the bottom left?

I have put behind it a safety pin so now it's a cute brooch!

Maybe I should make more of these...
