Jo's Crochet Flower Garland How-To


"What are you doing? Your things are packed, the cheese cake for your parents is ready and you ought to sleep by now! Did you forget, you are going on vacation tomorrow?" Mo asked and shook her little head. 
"I'm trying to write down the pattern for my flower garland. I want to get this done before I'm leaving, but it's difficult."
"The pattern?"
"No, the pattern is very simple to crochet, but I'm not good in explaining, I guess." I said and stated: "The garland was in the picture of the old table and all the other things Mr. Bargain encouraged me to buy. One dear reader called Moogie, asked me for the pattern, when she commented at the "Mr. Bargain" post last week. I promised to write it down and I thought, this might me a brilliant way, to give a little something back to all those wonderful people, who read our stories and take time to leave a comment."
"I see! Well-intentioned, at least!", laughed Mo, looking at all my muddled notes with crochet abbreviations on them.

We will be back soon, two weeks from now at the latest!

Yours
Mo and Jo

  15. Your English is much, much better than my German! (Despite the best efforts of my tutors at the local VHS, after three and a half years in Germany, two and a bit years of classes here and three years in High School in my teens). One tutor used to tell me that I wrote German as though it were English at times; I can see the reverse in you - that's not meant as a criticism, though! Lovely blog, lovely creations, lots of inspiration!
