Posy brooches

Note to self: the Attic 24 posy brooches can also be made with tapestry wool which comes in a skein. An average skein makes 4 flowers or 4 leaves, this way you can cheaply vary the colours of the flowers and leaves! Use a 4mm hook. Can be Anchor or DMC- approx cost in Spring 2009 is 85p per skein. Hundreds of colours to choose from!

Then add beads or buttons, a bit of felt and a brooch back.....Voila : lovely little presents!!!

Posy in crochet

This is a posy brooch I made from a pattern you can find on www.attic24.typepad.com
It's a super new- well new to me anyway- blog that I found thanks to the latest issue of Simply Knitting magazine.....

There's loads of lovely crochet- and other- stuff on there and it's updated daily... Unlike my own paltry efforts!

HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY to Lucy from ATTIC 24!!!!

My next projects will now be a flower cushion in bright cottons and a woolly blanket or afghan in bright coloured wool from Yeoman Yarns. I can't wait!!!! yummy yummy COLOURS!!!!!
