I remember when I first learned how to crochet.........I remember the struggles in the beginning. That was back in late 1996. I started my first design in 2009!! My writing style has changed over the years. I still try to stay as unique as possible without making it too difficult to understand. It's not just my patterns that can be difficult at times, I have come across many squares/designs that are weirdly written, or difficult......and when I am frustrated, I remind myself that they too have a right to stay as true to their style of writing. I will be the first to admit that some of my patterns can be re-done. I have mentioned before that I am going to start doing all my patterns and fixing them. Well I am finally doing it, going to be my, "Re-Design Crochet a long" Everyone is welcome to join in if you want......offer up suggestions or let me know of any corrections! Once each one is done, I will post the pdf on Ravelry, as well as fix the pattern here. For the squares I plan on using the following colors:
Orchid
Dark Ochid
Green, can't remember the color name, will update when I remember it. LOL
Border: Dark Sage
I am using these colors as these will be made into lapghans for my living room, which is mainly sage/green. I will be working them in order that I designed this, if this helps you. I have already started.

| Shells Around, designed this month back in 2009, so one of my first small square designs. I remember designing this one, and it's still one my favorites. It works best in a solid color, although I think a 2nd color for the last round would work. If anyone works this up in a variegated, let me know. |

| Simple Wish, designed same month, but in 2010. original pattern had a front post dc that extended as a "wand" for the star. |
