Hey woman...LOVE your blog and work...you truely are an artist...a bit manic hehe but very talented.
Hey..have you ever started crochet with a magic ring?..it is too kewl.

All those lovely color stars made me think of map of the USA--maybe they could be used as kids' project to research, learn about the 50 states, choosing a color that represents something about each state (like turquoise for New Mexico maybe, orange & green for Florida, gold for California, lava-sand black for Hawaii, white snow of Alaska?)
BTW, I'd made similar stars last year for sea-theme crochet project (there's book teaching kids to crochet which has one-piece fish shaped cat toy to demonstrate increasing & decreasing.
To make a starfish, make two star shapes like your pattern, but don't cut yarn on 2nd piece. Place two stars together and single crochet around edges of both (perhaps stuff lightly before completing final round.
Magic ring or loop method of starting project worked in rounds (way to avoid hole in middle if not desired) is illustrated in book AMIGURUMI: SUPER HAPPY CROCHET CUTE by Elisabeth Doherty; technique can be found online too (I saw pattern on yarn company website recently--maybe Lionbrand.com--for I think pattern called "Captain Cute", a pirate Teddy Bear.
Love your blog!
Thanks everyone!! I've used the magic ring method as well...
I plan on putting a jewel in the center of my stars for the ornaments I'm making...
What a great Idea for kids.
Happy hooking!!!
OMGosh have you ever opened the crochet monster deep inside me Linda LOL...er I meant creative crochet self lol
Anyhoo...you inspired me to make YOUR star pattern..and even a smaller one to put on my American Flag Afghan I designed...WOOT! see what a positive effect you have on us..or is that a voodoo thingy LOL
Love ya,
Camilla
hahahahaha
Yeah I've put a crocheting spell on you Camilla!!! hahaha
Yeah for bigger Stars use a big hook and small stars a little hook...wooo wooo
LMAO ...I am under your spell woman LOL...sad but true LOL
No no ..this is what I did only because you inspired me..
using magic ring I slipped one into ring, single croched 14 more..like yours..then drew up magic ring..now here is where it is also different.
I slipped into first sc..chained 3..
sc into 2nd from hook..double croched in next..skip 2 slip into 3rd sc..and continued around..makes a tiny star...so very kewl.
let me know what you think?
HUGGGGGGS,
Camilla
I told you ..you inspired me with your voodoo dolly thingy LOL
Yup..they fit better on my large flag crochet afghan..kinda hard to fit the larger ones on as I need 50 whew of them.
Keep inspiring me girlfriend.
Hugs,
Camilla
