Still Working!

Just wanted to let you all know that I am still crocheting and working on new stuff even though I haven't posted. This flower will eventually become part of an afghan, and that pattern will be available on Etsy. But, there is another afghan pattern which I call the Country Miles Afghan that I will be posting on here for free whenever I finish the damn thing. This flower may also become a hat. I'm not sure. I will also be doing some amigurumi and a bunch of other projects and I'll try to remember to keep updating. Maybe. I have so much going on in my life that it's sometimes hard to focus on crochet.

Assembly: Roll petals up (right side out) and use one of the long threads hanging off either side to sew all through the bottom, making sure your needle goes through all the layers. Use the other long thread to affix rose to a pin, or a hair tie, or use floral wire to make a stem!
Pro Tip: You can use treble crochet for taller petals!
