Crochet flower

Hello my lovely friends , hope you are all good and I'm sure you are enjoying the weather. Here in London we are getting a glimpse of sunny days. I've been embracing it . We have driven down to the seaside . I have not been to Southend since my daughter was 6 , twenty odd years ago. Oh we had a great day the Mr and I . We dined at restaurant with a view of the sea . Had a Fentimans ginger beer with haddock and chips and tartare sauce . Yummy . A stroll along the pebbly beach ,taking all the sights and sounds of a busy kitsch seaside . 
We bought some rocks and some lovely fudge , it was a lovely day.
Some days I can crochet and design all day . Planning ,writing , blogging making sure my social media platforms are up to date and other days I simply cannot help but play . At the moment I am addicted to making these crochet puff flowers . A while back I designed my Blommor bracelet 

This pattern is one of my favourite designs . I constantly made and gift this design for friends. I often personalise them to each persons favourite colour, I will make it in hues of that colour . It looks very effective. I  am offering this pattern for sale over on Ravelry  .

Have a lovely day.

Blommor Bracelet






We are currently on issue 49 of Inside Crochet Magazine and  I am very fortunate to have my pattern on the cover. Incidentally, Pocketmags is offering a 33% off the normal subscription price and somehow I'd forgotten to blog about my bracelet published in issue 48. The pattern is called Blommor Bracelet. Blommor means flowers in Swedish . I think the name is perfectly apt as the flowers are beautiful blooms.

The motifs are made individually which makes the pattern  very adaptable. Make more motifs for a necklace , use singly add some earrings hooks .The  motif creates a puffy reversible flower  .Use thin or thick yarn. I used Drops baby Merino purchased from Nest which sells online as well as having the most delightful shop to squeeze yarn .This yarn is unbelievably soft , it comes in a wonderful array of colours and it is very cheap so be warned you wont be able to stop yourself from dropping a few balls into your basket.
Finally, I leave you with my image of the same flowers in different colours I'm sending you lots heartfelt thanks for all the wonderful support and encouraging words from you dear friends. You are such an inspirational bunch.
I have linked this to the fabulous blog by Chrissie and her wonderful crochet along, do pop along to check out what others are making. Chrissie, thank you for organising this
Have a lovely weekend
