I wanna do some clover knots maybe with the white strings, but ran out of thread.. XP
Sometimes it's sorta hard to say if it's original with craft stuff. orz

marigold

 

sooo i tried making a chart. urg it's so confusing, i can't even stare at it long enough to check its accuracy.. soo how can u make it better..

 

 

petals:

when doing rnd 7, get 24 strings, fold in half, and insert between rnd 6 and 7. so each petal has 6 strings right now. it'll look like : UU_U_UU_U_UU_U...

strt each petal between the two consecutive Us. insert extra string for working cord, and add a holding cord in the middle of the petal.. on row 1, join the extra holding cord with another holding cord, and split them on row 2. honestly i don't know if there's a difference in width between row 1 & 2. orz  

 

my rnds strt in the middle of the bottom.. insert 2 strings for peduncle?? at the strt of rnd 9...I did this after i got done with the head prt.. 2 strings => 4 do crowns with those 4 strings until desired lenth... then add 2 more strings to do another crown. => 8 strings.. do leaves like pea shooter leaves, but do 1 more row.

 

so yeah i think i made my marigold too big. oops.

 

On the bck side, I ended up painting it a lil, cuz too much of the yellow holding cord was showing >^< probably should've switched them out b4 i got to the decreasing rnds. i didn't switch them until rnd 14. sooo messy.. orz is there another way of doing it???

still trying to work out perfect circles

 

and still don't know how to do it with fk/bk. > <
