Crochet Collage Garden Progress
I have enjoyed a week of slow stitching while the home improvement project in the living-dining-sewing room part of our home continues. One thing has lead to another and the trim paint on the baseboards and doors and windows is also being redone.
It will be lovely when it is finished.
(I will probably be asking to have the walls redone soon, too.
... shhh! ...
Don't tell Mr. Scrapatch, who is probably ready to be done with this.)
I am really enjoying making the many little motifs in this book:
I started making these flowers and leaf motifs about a week ago
I first posted this project Here ~ Last Sunday.
The first leaf I made has an error in the center which I did not pull out.
I just adapted and made a one of a kind leaf.
Can you see which one is different?
My boxed Boye set is complete again as I found not one, but two, I hooks.
I also found a partial set of Boye steel crochet hooks ...
... and some Hero aluminum hooks that I do not recall having,
but they are worn and well used.
The smallest one, the C Hook, is actually bent in the middle.
... one with the 2.75mm aluminum C Hero Hook
and one with the 3.5mm steel 00 Boye Hook.
This Hero hook is stamped that is was made in Germany,
although others of the Hero Hooks were made in the USA.
These hooks are probably over 50 years old.
I think I have decided that I will be using the steel hooks
as I continue to make these garden motifs
Happy Stitching!

It certainly shows that you are happy playing with your crochet hooks as all the pretties you are creating are lovely. I admit I cannot really see which leaf is different. Besides, in nature there is always something a little different in the flowers, leaves, stems etc. These new leaves are sweet.
Your crochet garden is looking good Pat. I'm glad you were able to find the missing hooks, plus some. And I'm glad that crocheting is not hurting your hands :) Have a lovely day.
I'm glad you are having such a good time with your crocheting project. The flowers are very cute, happy stitching!
