New Bees and Flowers for Spring!

I'm so happy to have finished this pattern set!! You can see it here on my etsy store, and I am a bit proud.

The little boogers have been a year in the making, because I couldn't accept the fact that I was making a butterfly with a round body. But dangit, I like it, it's cute and it works!!

The flowers are the easiest you can imagine, a snap to make. You can choose to add the thread edging and the extra round of chains for a bit more interest, or make them fast and bold. Here the pattern is on etsy: click here; and also, you can find it on Amazon as a Kindle ebook. Check out all of the Kindle patterns here. Thanks for supporting an itty bitty crochet designer!

What a blast. Thanks for looking, and check out all of my patterns at www.susanlinnstudio.etsy.com .

Put DOWN the hook, Sue

I admit I've been obsessed lately;

 Whenever we go on a road trip I crochet nonstop. 

I was annoyed the other day in a waiting room when an, ahem, older gentleman looked at me and loudly asked his wife, "What's she doing?". The wife said, "Knitting or crocheting, I don't know." He looked again, sourly, at me and said "Some people just can't sit still." Exactly right! And look what I've been working on! My bugs!!! I'm so happy, I have a little butterfly I think I'll include in this pattern set, too. You'll notice one of the bees has flatter wings which lay flat....there's another option in which the wings sit up and attach to the back (see the bee in the center of the picture. And, of course a ladybug (it still needs some embroidery, something seems to be missing. Hah!) 

Anyhoo, this pattern set, along with the Flower Power flowers which match the bugs, will be put together into a pattern and put on my etsy store in the next couple of days. Hopefully I'll put another free pattern on this blog at the same time.
