I totally love this pattern. Both video and written instructions were easy to follow. I needed four flowers for head bands for teens. They worked up quickly and were beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I usually do not leave a bunch of remarks, but i did a few searching and wound up here "How to Crochet a easy flower Also with written pattern".
And I actually do have a few questions for you if it's allright. Is it just me or does it look like some of these comments come across like written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at other sites, I would like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of all of your communal sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
