Yes, I have had a bee in my bonnet as you can tell. :-)
The last few days I have ate, drank and slept flowers. But it's paid off. I was playing around this morning and came up with a rose pattern.
(I had looked online and although I saw some rose patterns I couldn't understand them, so I had to improvise)
Here's mine:
Chain 20 (the smaller roses were made chaining 15. If you decide to make the smaller ones, you can make two roses out of one skein of floss. )
Ok, let's start again!
Chain 20
hdc in every chain link but start at the 3rd link from the needle.
At the end, chain 3 and turn.
2dc in hole right at base of chain, then 3dc, 1sl st in every top link from then on (going through both layers)
* just to clarify: you will have 3 dc and 1 sl st in every link.
Go all the way to the end and finish off.
It will look like a long corkscrew.
Now you just need to roll it up and sew the base. (so it doesn't unroll)
Add a bead or button.
Below are some ragdoll mums I made last night. Technically they're marigolds
(you can find the youtube video I went by in my tutorial section)
but I think they look more like Dahlias or Mums.
That'a my story and I'm sticking to it!
OK, I promise I won't bore you eternally with my crochet madness.
It's a faze. I WILL move on. lol
My closest friends will tell you this happens quite frequently. Just humor me.
Think of all the blog candy I can offer soon!! I can supply all of blogland with crochet flowers!
Yesterday I made over 50.
OK, maybe I shouldn't have admitted that...
I do NOT need treatment..I do NOT need treatment...

Hi Dorcas, Great flowers! TFS I'll have to give it a try. I have just posted your blinkie on my blog www.mybuttonsnbows.blogspot.com

Hello!
Beautiful flowers! I love the name 'ragdoll mums' and I love these the best!
I hope this finds you well and wish you a great week!

Dorcas, these flowers are beautiful. If you run out of space I can send you my address so you can get rid of some of those little beauties lol!
I love the flowers. I've wanted to try crocheting flowers for the longest time. I too found the directions difficult to understand. This actually sounds like something I can do. Maybe next week (hopefully) I'll be able to use one of these on a card. Thanks so much for the tutorial. I'm bookmarking it for sure.
wauw gorgeous flowers!!!!
