ReplyDeleteamazing flowers. floral art is nearest to creativity among all other arts. I saw an online flower shop in Japan
ReplyDeleteand when I gave them the idea of these flowers they appreciated a lot. I quite wonder how they will assort these flowers with their bouquets and other flowers arrangements.
Pretty flowers!

ReplyDeleteCindy@ silk bouquets arrangements
Wow! Your pattern is n UK and US...I have only just found that there is a difference ...After having struggled thru 2 Us patterns and changing the whole thing and undoing 4 times...Infuriating.
ReplyDeleteKeepmUp the Gr8 work.
VEE
Wow, this a great project for beginner like me, it seems the pattern is simple that i can actually follow it. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! Thanks so much for including Simple Bites.
ReplyDeletei'm confused here i'm sorry it seems very simple but what i am confused about is the whole uk/us could u please explain to me
ReplyDeleteHi byronsangel
ReplyDeleteThe UK and USA use the same crochet stitches but they give them different names, a single crochet in the USA is made the same way as a double crochet in the UK, this link shows the many names of that one same stitch

It is confusing because the names of the stitches are similar so you must only follow the instructions in a duel pattern for the system you use, or if you are using a pattern online or in a book make sure you check it uses UK or USA terms. Here's a link for a conversion chart that might help, you will notice that the crochet symbols remain the same
