Crocheted flowers!

By
Crocheted flowers are so easy and gorgeous and useful and cheap and pretty and ...well you can see I am excited about our crocheted flower workshops we will be having this term!
We have gathered some nice samples and some patterns and Jenny has prepared some great step-by-step tutorials which will appear on the blog in the next few months.
Here are a few to whet your appetite...





Today I am putting pretty hand made flowers on the blog in memory of Jenni's grandmother who passed away this morning. She was very special to Jenni and loved all things handmade too. She has gone to be the Lord Jesus who she had a very real relationship with. So no more pain for her, but still of course it is always sad to say goodbye.
Thinking of you and praying for you this week Jenni and Leanne.

    Oh Bek, if only you weren't an hour away. Don't worry. We have a friend from the other side of the world who is part of our craft group. Craft by correspondence :)

These cute little Christmas stockings were made by Mandy. There was no real pattern to follow so we worked it out easily enough by sharing crochet know how and made little stocking decorations until they were everywhere. Wil and Bev G made a heap! Here are some pictures and a pattern! A pentagon granny square folded in half to make a little stocking. Make them in whatever colour you like! Add some sparkle :) or a bell on the toe! Put a few sweets, a roll of mints or a roll of cold hard cash inside, hang them on the Christmas tree and you will be popular. Click "read more" below for the pattern.

Mitred Granny Squares by Janice

A project a day! I have so many photos of lovely things which have not yet appeared here on the blog. So, I am featuring a new craft item every day for 2 weeks, all made by ladies at The Craft Group. To continue… Project 5: Mitred Granny Squares by Janice Crocheted Granny Squares are in again and, as with all come-backs, there are clever variations. These mitred* squares are eye catching and can look stunning depending on the colours used. Janice made this green one which has a lovely 3D effect made by her use of various tones of graduating greens. It looks stunning in a whole finished rug. (*also spelt 'Mitered', depending on where you live).  Janice is then working on some other squares using bright coloured stripes, giving the finished product a completely different look. Nice work Janice! If you are feeling inspired, I found a lovely tutorial on how to do this version of a Granny Square. Click HERE to go to the "Crochet Again" b...

The school holidays are nearly over. Some kids have one more week. Why not get creative and make some pretty lanterns to hang in your bedroom? (Caitlin and Ryan... if you make one and take a photo, I'll put it on the blog!) A teacher at school made these with her grade 3 class.  I was the photographer, so I captured the pictorial step-by-step instructions.
