Crochet Hawaian Flowers

Got this Beautiful flower crochet from sarahlondon. It looks so much better than the granny squares i'm currently doing. Will try to make this pattern into something nice. :D

Chain 8, slip stitch into first chain to form a ring.
Round one:

Chain 1, work 12 double crochet into ring, join with a slip stitch into first double crochet.

Fasten off.

---

Join a new colour into any double crochet, chain 1, work 1 double crochet into the same stitch, * work 1 double crochet into the next stitch, chain 11, 1 double crochet into the same stitch, work 1 double crochet into the next stitch, chain 1, 1 double crochet into the next stitch, repeat from * around, omitting last 1 double crochet into the next stitch and join with a slip stitch into the first double crochet.

NOTE: Do not fasten off, you will be using the same colour to work

---

Work 18 double treble (wrap wool twice around hook) into the 11 chain loop, slip stitch into the 1-ch space of the previous round, repeat from * around, join with a slip stitch to end.

Fasten off.

---

Work a round of double crochet in a contrasting colour as such:

Work 9 double crochet up one side of the petal, chain 3, work 9 double crochet down the other side of the petal, work 1 double crochet into chain 1 space of round two, continue around, join with a slip stitch to end.

Fasten off.

This is how it looks like when you do the "link as you go" method. Pretty cool and fast too.

1. Mix all until just pulled together.
   
2. Spoon into muffins pans. Cook for approximately 12-15 minutes at 160C.

Last day in DSTA and First Day back in at NCS

Yesterday was my last day in DSTA. Been working there for about 4yrs++ already. Met alot of friends and done alot of "footprints" all over the intranet. :D

Kind of sad and happy to leave that place too. I need to upgrade myself, so require another challenge to push me ahead again. Cya ppl. Hope we get to work together again.

Today also my first day reporting back to NCS. Seems kind of strange to as i suppose to be an NCS staff, but it just seems like i'm starting a new job at a new place... hahhah..

Since noone ard to give me work, I've been surfing net again... I discover that facebook, flickr and IM are not allowed on the network... haiz.....

Luckly blogging and using external IM is still allowed... so I'm still connected to the world :D

IM me if you want to look for me then.
