Flower Power

My first attempt at freeform crochet, ready to send to Australia for Prudence Mapstone's 50 years of flower power - a freeform crochet and knit artwork for Fibrefest, Sydney, May 1-3, 2015.  I think its more patchwork than freeform but this project is a good opportunity to start me experimenting with alterative crochet methods and stitch.
 

 

Crochet Spheres

Having hand knitted spheres for my uni projects this year, I thought I'd try to experiment with crochet.  I found this simple pattern at http://www.kundhi.com/blog/2010/10/11/tiny-crochet-ball-pattern/.  Although they worked out quite well, I found the number of rounds less easy to count than in knitting and I kept losing my place in the pattern.  Here are some of the better samples which look a bit like ice cream scoops.  I think that the crochet is less flexible than knitting as there are less stitch choices, so I think I may revert back to the knitting!
