By George, I think she's got it!

Well, it seems the crochet gods heard my prayers, and delivered me some words of wisdom through the divine Amy!
I have improved my counting skills and have also worked out when I need to crochet into spaces, and when I need to crochet into those little chain loops.

My attempt at "Lacy Cross" wasn't too shabby at all-
Thos holes are a little skewiff but otherwise ok


But I am mostly impressed with my Briar Rose!!
Here's how it should look...

And here's my attempt!!! One of the spoke is a little wonky, but other than that I'm very happy with it! Especially as it's a harder one than the others I've had a go at!

Wonderful job! I have this book too and made a few of the blocks. I've been wanting to try that briar rose as well. You have indeed "got it"!

Wow - your squares look really good. Very inspirational. I'm thinking of buying the 200 square book too. I've had some recent crochet disasters aswell... but now I am thinking that perhaps it is time to take the plunge.
