              The daisies are starting to appear in the lawn now so I'm making some to put on a cosy,
              the basic framework:
              P1050926.JPG

              and with the petals ( worked in the "spokes "). I'm trying to follow a Russian tutorial on u tube and I need to perfect the tips of the petals.

                    I've only "discovered" this hobby in the last year @Sheal . I'm like a kid in a sweetshop when I get onto these Crochet tutorials.

                      I 've changed to P1050956.JPG a smaller crochet hook and they've become tighter and smaller. Enough here I think to put the big one on top of the cosy , and make a daisy chain around the sides,

                          It,s amazing what you can do with a sliver of wood.[​IMG]
                          This is not perfect, but something I can work on.

                              Well thanks Jenny. Nice of you to say. The spoon thingies were finished with sanding sealer and a final wax coat. The "Block" is varnished.
