"Crochet,a book win and Happy Mother's Day."

Hello,

I have caught a bug. I don't think it is too serious though. It is called "The Crochet Bug."


After my visit to Woollylatte's last week I came home and looked through my yarn stash and made these crocheted coat hangers. A very quick and easy pattern. I used 70 chain for the base and trebles in each chain,using three chain for the start of each row. 6 rows in total and joined them together with  a single crochet.
I used 8 ply yarn and a size 4mm hook. I found the pattern for the flowers on line.


Good things come wrapped in brown paper. On Monday I had a note from Australia Post that there was a parcel to pick up. Look how lovely the wrapping was done.

Inside was the book I had won.


A lovely children's book from  My Book Corner. Thanks Emma.



Have a beautiful Mother's Day on Sunday. The Chrysanthemum's are from the plant I was given last year. It has tripled in size and blooming its heart out.

Happy days.
Bev C

    I have two hangers like those that my Gram made back in the 60's. I love them. Nothing falls off and they look so pretty. Thanks for the reminder. Little gifts like these are wonderful to have on hand. Wishing you a beautiful weekend.

    Hello Bev,
    Just Love those hangers. I have some that my Mom made for me years ago. I love them and I told my Husband that would be the only reason for me to learn how to crochet. Happy Mother's Day to you too and those are beautiful chrysanthemums Bev. A beautiful showing of yellow, wow!
    Blessings

    You know, I'm a bit happy, that my arm doesn't allow me to knit and crochet. That way I can't start a new passion ;o)
    Love your hangers. The flowers give the finishing touch.
    You have a lovely an peaceful weekend too, Bev. xo

    I love your crochet instructions, they might as well be in Urdu as far as I'm concerned.....a complete foreign language!
    I did understand the note on the book wrapping, so gorgeous!

    I've always wondered how to make those crochet hangers. Sounds pretty easy.

    Your yellow mums are so beautiful! I love to hear how big they are after a year. They are some of my favorites, since they are the flower of my birthday month.
