...for now is the crochet pattern writeup of my flower squares which I had been planning on posting in the next day or so. Since I've had requests for the pattern, I started getting it down on paper, but had to stop because of a few Halloween projects I need to get a move on...
Because I've been crocheting these squares from memory without anything written on paper, I've had to write it all out from scratch for the first time which always takes me longer than expected... I don't know about you, but I always seem to leave out steps when I write out patterns for the first time. To make sure I don't leave anything out and make the pattern perfectly understandable, I've come to the conclusion that I have to crochet the piece once while following, word for word, what I've written down (having some pattern testers would be a good thing -- 'have to get my kids up to speed on crocheting!!)
If you're wondering about my Halloween projects, I will be putting together some costumes for my children, as well as a little sewing project for my daughter's fifth grade class; hopefully I'll have time to show you all of these Halloween goodies before the big day!...
I know exactly what you mean, Beata. Then I tend to fret afterwards, worrying that I made some horrible mistake. The last pattern I posted was for a knit hexagon. Didn't I just finish writing it and blogger went down, losing my post forever. How terribly frustrating.
The colours in the blanket are quite superb. How many more squares do you have to do?

Hi, I read your site almost daily, and it is lovely. I will wait very patiently for the pattern to be done. I would be happy to test, too. Is "mediocre beginner" one of the categories?

Your colours look so lovely. Looking forward to the costumes!

Those are really cute flowers. I tend to have a notepad handy when I write patterns, but it doesn't help because I get to writing it in a code only I can understand and if I don't work the pattern for a while, then even I don't understand what I've written. Yes, pattern testers would be great!

I love your sense of color and the beautiful combinations for the flowers! Thank you for the lovely, lovely visual treat! Now you can enjoy the fruits of your labors all winter long with the colors of the summer inside while it snows outside! Hot neet is that?! I wish I had your eye for color, it is truly amazing! You are so gifted!
