Do you remember the crochet hexagon bear and the African flower granny square?
The African flower ball is made similarly, is similarly colourful and I find it similarly bright :)

Do you remember the crochet hexagon bear?
It has also been made from African flower granny squares.
I have presented stuff from ‘normal’ granny squares before, should you want to take a look at :)

If you have a garden you can make you such a tree pendant lamp: simply plant a tree, train and graft around a frame and harvest after a couple of years. Very simple.
;-))
Anyway I find it great, just as the chairs and everything else! :)
Thanks for the link, A.!

I find this neat: triangular boxes that fit then in a hexagonal box :)

While surfing the internet I found this necklace and found it amazing.
I thought that it should be easy to made: you make the mdedaillons with flat round Peyote (see links below) just as for the bottom of the beaded bottle, but then you work the pattern back again.
This way you get a slightly thicker medaillon in place of a flat disk.
Unfortunately I’m not so good concerning colours and so I’m not really satisfied with my own medaillon (see photo).
Perhaps I should have printed and coloured in one of the graphs (see links below) to use this as template?!
One day I really will do this ;-)

Sometimes you want to crochet not only a spiral, but a multicoloured spiral (beautiful in Freeform Needlework!).
I once found even two tutorials for crochet spirals, but the links don’t work anymore (I put them to the Links below in case you like to try them).
But because I didn’t found no more instructions I wrote a tutorial myself based on the previously found tutorials:
You will need 3 skeins of yarn in matching gauges.
Work in spirals, though NEVER JOIN!
st = stitch
sc = single crochet
1st row: work 6 sc on magic ring
2nd row: work 2 sc in each st = double each st = 12 st
work the 1st 4 st in colour A, the 2nd 4 st in colour B and the 3rd 4 st in colour C
3rd row: work * 1 sc, 2 sc in next st *, repeat from * to * = double each 2nd st = 18 st
work the 1st 6 st in colour A, the 2nd 6 st in colour B and the 3rd 6 st in colour C
4th row: work * 1 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc in next st *, repeat from * to * = double each 3rd st = 24 st
work the 1st 8 st in colour A, the 2nd 8 st in colour B and the 3rd 8 st in colour C
