I saw that The Smiling Robot had made herself a poppy for Remembrance Day. I thought it was a lovely idea to crochet a brooch. Off to trusty old Ravelry for a pattern and I chose this Free Pattern Here. I altered it a little accidentally on purpose.
I sewed a safety pin to the back and Voila! One Poppy Brooch. I had more trouble photographing it than crocheting it. The colour either turned out shocking cerise or this rusty red. I chose to be kind on your eyes and select the rusty red pictures. The poppy is actually 'Poppy' red in real life, but in Blogland it is this colour. I love my little point and shoot camera, but I don't understand it fully, I haven't worked out how to access the menu or what all the functions are - you may have guessed I am not a read the manual kind of gal!
