No tatting to speak of today....

 But, my crochet is coming along!!

Again from Me Oh My Crochet.

This picture only has 6 squares, but I have 
11 squares completed now.

And today I just crocheted my first flower!! 

From the same artist, but I purchased a package 

of patterns with several projects that have this 

 flower. ;)
I thought I was doing pretty well, but wasn't clear 

on the Round 4 instructions so I took a picture to 

show the artist my project, and ask how to start the 

next row- she answered me and said I missed a single 

chain stitch between each cluster(which explained why 
it was cupping so bad). ;)
Well, pull it all back out(much, much easier than taking 

a row out of my tatting!!!), and redo it in just a few 

minutes, and then start on the flower petals following 

then instructions and I got it!! :)

Now to start tatting another cross to balance my 

crafts out a bit, and then it should be supper time. ;)
Hope you are having a wonderful day!!!  :)

Just had to share!!!

 

Tatting and a kind of new to me craft

Crosses, crosses and more crosses.

I have been tatting Elaine P. Gan's 
Justification Cross and her 

My Portion Cross.  They seemed like something 

people were actually interested in last year at the 

craft show, so I am trying to have about 10 of each.

And, I saw this "reel" on facebook for Oh Me, Oh My Crochet 

and I love her color choices and Granny Square items.

Her Sunburst Granny Square Cardigan really caught my 

attention and I would love to make it.  So, I am learning. 

I wanted different colors, but they are only in the I Love 

this Cotton, not in the I Love this Yarn(which is such 

a shame), so I looked through all Hobby Lobby had and 

this was the best choice for me.  I have decided not to add 

a solid color for joining so it will all look uniform, and 

according to our daughter- Tie-Dyed, which if you know 

me...you know I love Tie-Dye!!  :D
So, below are my humble beginnings just in the last hour 

or so.

I hope you are having a great start to your weekend!! 

Happy Tatting and crafting everyone!!! :)
