poinsettia

Getting into the Christmassy spirit, I just finished making this poinsettia:

The finished piece is about 6.5″ in diameter. I also designed a simpler version with only one row of petals and smaller leaves. I can write up and post the patterns for both, if anyone is interested?
 UPDATE: The pattern is finished! http://www.planetjune.com/blog/free-crochet-patterns/poinsettia/

So I did. Didn’t get time to make a ghost.  I have started on some [...]

I made this in Red Heart Soft Touch yarn and I think it’s just right for the current chilly weather. 
The pattern is from the book ‘Stitch ‘n Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker’ but it’s available for FREE from the Patons website.
