Have a good week!
Astri, they all look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe leaves really make those lovely roses stand out. I'm off to do mine, who cares about the housework anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteCrochet must come before housework at all costs! hehe.
DeleteAnother wonderful tutorial and video Astri! Thanks so much for takin the time to do this :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to start my leaves.
Have a great day.

You are welcome Carole - it was my pleasure!
DeleteI can't wait to see your leaves. :-)
Hoping your day is great too!
Such lovely colors you have choosen to make this pillow. They look like you could just smell them through your blog. Yes, I too have only worked 2 chains at the corners. It seems to make a closer crocheted fit :'} Your doing a simplely beautiful job with your tuts & videos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mrs. W - glad you knew about the two chains. :-)
DeleteGreat tutorial! Thanks! My daughter has already finished adding leaves to all 8 of her squares. I've done 14 so far. My daughter is begging for a sneak peek at next week's tutorial. She'll never be able to wait! Are you planning on having us join as you go? Or single crochet the squares together. Sorry, we're just so eager. I'm already planning ahead for the next step. We're having so much fun! Thanks again.
ReplyDeletep.s. My daughter was tickled to have her roses pictured on your blog! That made her day!
Love the photos from you and your daughter!
DeleteYou can join as you go if you would like; however, I usually single crochet all together, but this time I joined with 3 ch and a sc. One side in white...one side in pistachio.
Your enthusiasm is infectious!
Lovely squares! I'll have to try these some day, too:)
ReplyDeleteI've just figured out how to do the bobble ripple, I think...
Excellent Sonja...the bobble ripple is a lot of fun!
DeleteSo summery.
ReplyDeleteCrochet Before Housework - somebody needs to start a blog with that name.
Yes, indeed. I think a lot of us could relate to that one!
DeleteComme c'est joli ces petites fleurs, vive le printemps ;-)
ReplyDeleteJe vous remercie, Domy!
DeleteHi Astri, I've only just started on the roses. I must admit I'm struggling a bit at the moment but the video is definitely helping! Hopefully I'll have mastered them in a day or so :) Thanks again for sharing the pattern. Maggie
ReplyDeleteOh shoot, I hope it gets better. Let me know if you need some additional guidance, Maggie. :-)
DeleteYou'll be pleased to know I've just completed a rose and it looks like yours! Well.. kind of - good enough for me anyway until I get a bit more practised! I'll post some photos on my blog in a few days when I've made a few more. These roses are so pretty :) Maggie xx
DeleteWell I have been hanging out for the next step LOL :))
ReplyDeleteI love making the flowers , so now I am off to start the leaves :))
Thanks so much for sharing this project with us :))
Happy Easter to you all :))
You are welcome...please let me know how it goes. :-)
DeleteHappy Easter to you as well!
This is soooooo lovely!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to try this pattern!
Thank you so much for the tutorial.
(can't wait to read the rest of it!)
Enjoy your week.
Xx
I've joined in the CAL after finding a picture of it on pinterest ... was so pleased to find I wasn't too late! I've blogged about my progress so far on my blog here: http://miaoucrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/some-vintage-style-crochet-and-giveaway.html - please feel free to add my photos to your list! I will continue to blog my progress. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have done the rose, but my center petals don't stand up. What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteHi Sonya,
DeleteIt could be a softer yarn, perhaps. Are you working on the underside of the the 2nd round of the rose? The video should help. Could you send me a photo of the rose?
