Inspired by some of Anita Mundt’s stunning creations, I spent yesterday evening trying to teach myself to crochet flowers . I discovered that I have some learning to do in this department, as in many others. I’ve crocheted a few hats before, and me and my mum have actually been seen wearing them in public (not at the same time)!

This flower is a tasteful wool-and-string creation that I now am not sure what to do with. I could decorate another hat, I suppose, or maybe use it to embellish a scrapbook page if I use heavy enough cardstock. Any other imaginative suggestions are welcome, as are instructions from more accomplished crocheters! (“Unravel it and start again” could perhaps be the first comment…)
