You Know How It Goes

I had one of those moments last week. The ones where people are talking about or looking at something handmade and not only do you think it to yourself, but proudly declare "I could make that".

And so I did....

Multi-layer crocheted brooches for some of my workmates.
Made by Tinniegirl

with a little help from my friend.

  6. I love that! Especially when you're successful. I often see things for sale (often for a lot of money) and think "i can make that". It doesn't always work out but sometimes it does. I'd say yours worked out perfectly.

  7. No, no, no ... I don't know how it goes. I'm the one always saying I wish I could make that!

    I think they are beautiful. Lucky workmates.

  14. I have never seen anything like this before but they are super cute! If you can make these you could do the ripple crochet.

    Your friend helps? Mine would try to steal the yarn and chew it up!

  16. I love them!I feel like I am looking at the world as one big crochet adventure at the moment. It was great to meet you this morning in Daylesford and I'll try to remember to bring some rhubarb to Abbotsford next farmers market. Love Kate
