Here are the two flower centers I promised. Had a crazy week and the time to take the video when no children were around never seemed to happen. I don't like to make videos when there is the possibility of people, TV or radio talking in the background. But sometimes it just can not be helped. Luckily the whole house was asleep when I made this video. So no phone or door bell in the back ground.

I worked on this some over the weekend not as much as I would have liked as I was not feeling good most of the weekend.Below in the read more area are the links to these stitches and others posted below and a video too.
I also worked the background filling stitches. A lot of times I will use wrapped brides for the filling in the back ground but I wanted this more open and lacier there so I just did twisted ones. I also worked on odd and even spirals. I set a small piece free from the pattern so you could see the background I hope a little better.

Removal of RPL from pattern. Sorry my phone rings half way through in the video and my door bell rings at the very end too. No one else called during the day or rang the bell it just had to happen in the 11 mins. I was making this video. I apologize for that but the rest of the tutorial is fine.

This stitch is similar to an English whirl but not exactly the same.

This is a fagoting stitch that works well for crescent shapes. Meaning shapes that are larger on one side than the other.

For all those doing the January RPLA I let you have the first week of the month to recover from holidays and to get your pattern transferred to the fabric, cord made and basted and all the joinings of the cord done this includes the joining on the side of cords too. Hint: the other two patterns tutorials will follow in short order so you better have them ready as they will be up soon. Soon being in the next 2 weeks. As it does take a little while to do the filling stitches and I want to complete each one before I go to the next. In that way you can see what the finished item looks like. Well at least see what it looks like in the colors that I have chosen. Please feel free to add your finished piece to the ravelry group or the group on flickr I so hope to see many wonderful works from all of you.
On to the tutorials
Sorry I did not have my husbands camera when I was doing this and my camera was being a little weird on focusing so here we go. I plan on going back today and doing a video hopefully that will be clearer but ti is a gray day so I may have to wait a day or two. That will be in a separate post
