Crocheted goodness

I finished weaving all of the ends of this square yesterday, and it turned out beautifully, if I do say so myself. The pattern is Granny Nenufar (Waterflower Granny) by Bigu Osuna and I made it for the March Afghan Square as part of the 2011 Afghan Square Crochet-Along at The Knitting Nest here in Austin. I just loved it so much that I had to share it with you. I will be teaching a class on making this square on March 9th at The Knitting Nest and I can't wait!

Is it weird to get this worked up over a 3D flower square?

Snow Arches Pattern

I just finished writing up the pattern for his afghan block that I designed for the January installment of the afghan block crochet-along at The Knitting Nest in Austin, TX. I have never done a design for an afghan block, other than a granny square - so I was surprised that it worked so well. Pretty, no?
