The smaller squares, and the flower square, are wonderful. I can do regular crochet (single and double) in rows, but haven't attempted any shapes as yet. I'll enjoy seeing how your next project turns out.<br />Suestitcherwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795367484568298951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29775806.post-64488432717526979562010-04-28T12:01:49.855+01:002010-04-28T12:01:49.855+01:00Wow, you've been really busy crocheting, I lov...Wow, you've been really busy crocheting, I love everything!

Tons is yummy things to gaze at!!! First, oh my! I too want to learn to crochet and make a granny square afghan. I am teaching a friend to quilt so she wants to teach me to crochet. I love that African flower block! What a pretty afghan that will make. And the afghan for your DD is not ugly at all. Far from it, she is going to love having it. <br /><br />As far as Michelle goes, please pass on a big congratulation from me. I hate to read she is hanging up her needle though. If you can make such a masterpiece, you can tackle anything. Her stitched version of The Accolade is fabulous! <br /><br />Hugs from Holland ~<br />HeidiHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060822757546401667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29775806.post-50152096064026706422010-04-16T13:41:14.712+01:002010-04-16T13:41:14.712+01:00Hun those flowers look great and I love Lily's...Hun those flowers look great and I love Lily's blanket, I wish I could get into the crochet I really struggled when I tried it maybe a teaching weekend at yours is in order with my DVD and Congratulations to Michelle tell her from me it looks fantastic and I cannot believe she has finally finished it, has she decided to get it framed xxTracy Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10880662710824756630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29775806.post-1369254206316429412010-04-16T08:56:47.568+01:002010-04-16T08:56:47.568+01:00Your crocheting is amazing.

I'm right handed and my teacher is left handed and I basically take a bunch of extra steps to do one stitch. I want to learn again. Thanks for sharing the flickr album--I'll share that with my daughter, who is much better at crocheting than I am. I LOVE your daughter's blanket!! So nice to snuggle up in. Your other WIPs look great, too.
