'Greetings from K- town'!

I'm sure everyone will know of Barbara, 

whose brilliant blog is Made-in-k-town. 

I have long been a follower of 'k-town' 

and am always amazed by Barbara's work

... neat and colourful, but never gaudy. 

In her blog, Barbara has  given us patterns 

and tutorials for (amongst others)....

The Bavarian Popcorn Flower

                                                             The Little Spring Mandala 

The Spiral Coaster / Potholder

Barbara was also the instigator of the 

'Beyond The Square' challenge, which 

was to make 100 (Barbara's personal 

challenge) of the squares from the book, 

'Beyond the Square' by Edie Eckman.  

I sadly failed dismally in my challenge, 

(but still plan to continue).  If you want

 to see the beautiful entries in the gallery

 on Barbara's blog, take a peek here. 

Barbara is currently doing a project called,

 'Meet in k-town' in which she interviews

 blog writers that she follows.  

If you want to read the 3 she has 

interviewed so far, hop over here.

So many lovely things to see and read

 over at Made-in-K-town...and now 

Barbara has sent us 3 amazing squares 

for the Beautiful Blogger Blanket 2013! 

Barbara's squares 1

All three are crocheted using a pattern  

which Barbara has adapted from the 

African Flower pattern - she will  

post the pattern on her blog for us soon. 

Does anyone know who wrote the 

original African Flower pattern? 

Edited to add:  Answer is in the comments section below -
 (I'll leave it there in case you want to test yourself)!

Barbara hasn't said which yarn she has
