In the previous post I told you about the swap I was in -
One String At A Time. I showed you the banner I made and..... guess what? My partner, Susie's banner arrived yesterday! Yipee!!! Don't you love it? I can keep it out all year. RIght now it's hanging from the plate rack in my dining room.
Here's a close up of the detail. On one side she used a variety of pink buttons...all different ones. These are a few of my favorites.
The garland is held together by this crocheted string of little flowers. I think she made them. I'd love to learn how to do this. Does anyone have any instructions they want to share?
But until I can figure out how to do it myself, Susie sent me this darling card with some of my own to play with! Thank you so much Susie...you're a doll!

Hi Jeanne,
If you do basic crochet, this is really simple. Just chain about 25. * Go in the 5th chain from hook to join and make a circle. Then chain 3 (which counts as your first double crochet) dc in circle about 17 more times. Join to first chain 3 of circle. Begin another chain of 22 - 26(you can decide how long you want your chain to be). Repeat from * as many times as you want for the length.
I'm not a very good teacher, so you may not understand this. If you need any help, email me and I'll try to help. These should be really simple....you could whip one out in no time.
