Last week, I decided to just go for it and try the African Flowers. Two of the colors I have are this pretty pink and green. I thought they would look great together...
I was wrong! In person, the green glows and looks really bad in this flower.

I made another one without the green and it looked much better. I also made one with orange and another with red.

However, I'm not sold on this project. The motifs are much larger (5") and open than I thought and I'm just not thrilled with them. I tried a couple different sizes of hooks but "G" worked the best. Smaller hook sizes made it hard to work with this thickness of yarn. I think I'll send all my cotton yarns back to the stash until I find something better for them. It was fun trying though. :-)

Oh, but I like the green, it looks like a cute little flower.
So what are you going to use your samples for? Mug rugs? Trivets?
And I liked the green, too, for what it's worth.
