DAISY INSPIRED



First time l did granny squares was probably 40yrs ago but couldn't resist a granny square playtime last night using the cluster stitch so it looks like a flower in a square
Love the mathematical side to crochet squares and circles...made the 1st one with 11 dc and clusters of 3DC to make 11 'petals'....bit sunflower looking but that gave too many petals to divide up the sides equally...wanted a square not a circle....so l needed one more to make 12 or less making 8 opted for 8
Don't you find these repeated squares therapeutic and satisfying ?

Rearranged pots moved plants from the his and hers place in readiness while Pmacs cut the decking up......
Why do things always get worse before they get better?

EVER STRUGGLED TO DO BULLION STITCH?


BULLION STITCH or MOCK BULLION STITCH

WOW!...ONE BRILLIANT VIDEO
Someone has invented a little plastic addition to a crochet hook to enable bullion stitch to be done really easily....A eureka moment l think


WONDER HOW TO DO BULLION STITCH?

HOW TO DO MOCK BULLION OR ROLL STITCH 

Great alternative to the bullion stitch is the mock bullion or roll stitch take a look and get creative.

'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.'
made me giggle a bit

Love this bag too...can think of lots of uses...next time maybe!
