Flowers and More Flowers

 

I made it this far there's no stopping me now! I have done my first square over, with the right hook size. This project was labeled the Medium Mystery Crochet A Long! Yikes! I am not use to projects with so much to them! I am excited to see how my work turns out in the end! But for now this is as far as I have come along.  

 I am making progress!

Crochet Shamrock Pin

 

I had to make this pattern as soon as I seen it. My mother turned me onto the special Luck of the clover and shamrocks. She had several her mother had found placed in a special book. My mother could spot them so fast and when I was growing up I never could find one, but I tried you bet I tried hard! It wasn’t until my husband and I took up camping did I truly discover the joy of spotting those lucky 4 leaf clovers. Found 13 once, let me tell you it was definitely not lucky! Our house caught fire that summer while we were out traveling the country on our camping trip. That actually happens in June of this year. Since I am back posting this I already know that it happens at this point. But due to our love of the clover for generations I had to crochet quite a few of these to pass out to friends and family. I also kept finding clovers after our camp out and decided I would give them to any friends I met at the campgrounds for good luck. We ended up losing our camper due to financial hardships.. did I mention I have the worst of luck…lol! 

 

Mystery Crochet A Long take 1

 

Here is the first take on what seems to be a crochet square, well it is supposed to be square. I made it this far before deciding to purchase the yarn that was suggested for the pattern. I am not good with making things turn out square or rectangle for that matter...lol!  I thought I was doing so great until I finished off the last corner and it just didn't work out right... I stretched it around and played with it till it looked good for the picture.

Luck would be in my stars, because the pattern was altered, my new yarn arrived and I will have to start anew.
