Crochet Flowers

I have been working on crochet flowers the last week. Here is a sneak peak.

Crochet Flowers, Chocolate Dog Studio, #crochetaddiction #crochet

I made 100 flower centers and then had to take them all apart as I had create them wrong. Some of the yellow flowers above need to be frogged as well. It seems that I keep making mistakes and then having to take out yarn.

The arm of my chair looked like this…Crochet Flowers, Chocolate Dog Studio, #crochetaddiction #crochet

There was so many ends just about 1 yard long. I finally pulled out the baggies and started organizing the flowers more. I think it is helping and now I am putting the next round on the two round circles above. I hope to get this project finished up pretty quick as the photographer is coming this weekend and I really want to have him take the photos of this blanket then. Crochet is pretty  much all I have on my mind as I take this project from the bare bones idea to a finished project in about a month. I am writing the pattern as I go so progress seems really slow, but I am pretty sure that I can finish this blanket by next week at the latest.
I’m off to crochet some more.

Talk to you later,

Karen,

Bright Flower Afghan

I spent the better part of 3 weeks designing the flower blocks and creating this crochet blanket from them. The blocks are a little intensive and require a tiny bit of advanced crochet skills. I have been waiting to show the blanket to you. It is gorgeous! The flower squares are great for using up small bits of yarn. So it is perfect for using up your stash yarns.

I had some extra flower squares so I created this pillow cover as well. It matches and the black color is really super dark navy.

The colors still look bright and beautiful inside. I really enjoyed creating this granny square and I hope to have the directions available soon.  The blanket and pillow will both be available for purchase in the Studio. The blanket is 40 x 50″.

Talk to you later,
