Round Three Progress and.... a mushroom!

I'm making progress on round three and am now about half way through.  Took a little break to make this small mushroom.  I don't know why.  I just saw it and was inspired to make it.  It's from a YouTube video.


Mine doesn't look quite like the one in the video as I modified the edge of the cap a little bit.  Instead of sewing it like in the video, I crocheted the edges together which makes a better shape I think.



In another department, I am now on the 6th flower block of my Frida's Flowers blanket.  I have just completed the first of six of these called "Ring of Roses".  I'm really impressed by Jane Crowfoot's design:  her flowers are so interesting and colourful!



Best wishes,
Frivole

  2. Such a sweet mushroom. A pin cushion perhaps? I've recently discovered Janie Crow's designs, they're amazing.

    1. Yes, that would be nice. Lucy of Attic24 does beautiful wreaths for all seasons and those mushrooms would look really pretty on a fall wreath.

  5. Although I'm not fond of mushrooms, this one I could go for. It's so cute! I love the flower motifs, especially in those gorgeous colors! Your doily looks wonderful, as usual! :-)

  7. All your work are lovely; the doily, the mushroom and the flower motif.
    I have not attempted much crochet with yarn but I am getting inspired by many beautiful work that I see. My issue is how to match colours to get the best effect.
