Crochet Embellishments Craftsy Course

Online Crochet Class

I looooove Linda being the instructor of this course.
She makes you smile. You makes you feel it's ok to be human
and her hints and tips make things really easy to follow and do.

I'm not doing the course in the lesson plan order.
I decided I would pick my favorite bits first.

The lesson I chose was Flower-Embellished Cardigan.
Linda teaches you everything from the basics so it's ideal for a beginner.
You get written and diagram instructions as well
as the video course.
You receive patterns for 6 different flowers.

 

 

As you can see Linda also shows you how to pin the 

flowers to make them look like different shapes.

Linda also talks you through using different colours

in the flowers. 

Linda uses different colours but I decided to go for a red theme.

One of the things she shows you is how to create a pin with your flower.

Here is mine.

And now for the cardigan.

The cardigan I used is quite old and looking a little tired.

Linda talks you through everything from positioning your flowers

right through how to attach them.

And here is my finished cardigan:

I have saved the other flowers and I'm going to dress up a few t-shirts as well :-)

This is a really easy course to follow

and Linda makes it lots of fun.

Keep a look out because there are more projects for the course to come.

What You Doing Wednesday Week 50

Good Morning Everyone.

I hope you are all having a good week!

I am feeling a lot more human these days.

It will take a lot longer to get rid of the chest infection that is left.
But being able to use my lungs is a big bonus.

This week I'm reviewing a Pattern from RAKJ Patterns:

This beautiful set is called:
Zoey Set
You get the hat (including flower)
&
the leg warmer pattern in the set.
(I was supplied the pattern for free to review)
I am just in the process of making the hat

So far so good. The pattern is really easy to follow.
I'll show you the finished project on Friday and give you a full review.

Online Tunisian Crochet Class

As I showed you yesterday I am in the middle of my spa cloth

from the Tunisian Crochet Class

I am also doing the Crochet Embellishments Course

Online Crochet Class

The thing I really love about this course

is Linda has broken it down into each different project.

I decided that I wanted to make the flowers first.

It's a really easy course to follow and is ideal for beginners.

Linda talks you through so many different projects

and different ways to use crochet to embellish your project.

I love her use of colour to brighten things up and give

it an individual look.

Here are the flowers I have made so far.

I think I'm going to get a white cardigan and put some sort of display

on it to brighten it up.

 

I'm in the middle of making a Love Bug Hat

I can't wait to see what it looks like finished.

All the design is in my head I just now need to get it off my hooks.

I've got a new free pattern to tell you about

from Carrie at Hooked on Crafting

Go on over and check it out.

I've just started listening to:

The Mystery of the Yellow Room

Strange is how I would describe it so far.

It's going quickly and the chapters are really short.

Hopefully have the full review for it soon.

I am also still reading: 

      

I am really enjoying this book.

There are lots of twists and turns and each

part brings a new secret and a new character into the mix.

It's about a boy who is orphaned and is taken in 

by a gentleman that has lost his wife.

The story takes a big twist when he finds the "jewels".

I tell you more when I've finished.

Now it's your turn to share what you are doing.

It doesn't have to be crochet, anything you are making

is perfect. Please link back to the post & visit other peoples sites as well.
