Let it Snow 2011 (Snowflake CAL and Share)

[seedstitch13]

Merri- I used #10 cotton and a size 7 steel hook. I used the second version for round 3 and it came out to 2" across from point to point. Really tiny and cute

 

Thank you!

 

I want to make small ones to go with the reg. size ones and decorate the whole tree this year. My daughter picked out a light mint green ball and I'm thinking of crocheting on a few of those too so they all blend together.

Very new here and want to join this forum is there anything that I need to do or do I just drop in every now and then?

dedee~welcome to crochetville!

 

stop in anytime-all the time! We'd love to have you here and please share what projects you have.

[dedee1ca]

thank you for the warm welcome Merri. I look forward to sharing with everyone I am glad I found this forum. When I get a chance I will share my list of projects, I always have stuff on the go sometimes it is 2 or 3 things just to change it up a bit so as not to get bored.

Welcome, DeDee! I, too, always have several things going on at the same time to keep from getting bored. Nice to know I'm not the only one!

I will try to get a picture today to show you the sl st on the pattern you are asking about. I go into the middle of the sl st to try to make it as invisible as possible, but you probably could do it either way you have said and get the same results.

 

If you can (picture), that would be great.

One side for the the St. Elmo Snowflake Pomander and one for a picture of my grandaughter. I like it in white but I have lots of colors and not much white.

WOW jelly yarn sounds so cool but never heard of it over here in the UK so i will have to use either plain yarn or thread.

 

so far for the year i have made 4 flakes and 1 bellflake

Adorable starflake with your granddaughter!!!

It's a non-fiber yarn, kind of rubbery, easy to work with. Comes in glow-in-the-dark and clear, as well as other colors. You can see it here:

the pattern I designed last week...

[bigfunfam]

It's so pretty!

 

I worked one up this morning but it is not anything near flat. I guess this one totally needs to be blocked/stiffened to look right. Hopefully this week I can do that to the ones that I have made this month

This one is really unique! It reminds me of one of those twirly toy thingies (obviously I can't remember what they are called!) that spin in the wind.

Very beautiful love the pinwheel look. Will be working on my flakes when I am done with the rug and the 2nd doily I am making for my mom for her birthday.

As a break between cross-stitching and starting another part of crochet curtain for my friend, I made a few snowflakes. I'm not going to starch them now - I'll do it before Christmas this year

Beautiful work! I kind of like to see a bunch of them unstarched every now and then. They almost look as if they are dancing!

[jrnylst]

I've been naming my snowflakes after mountains this year (because it was hard to come up with names without being ridiculously repetitive), and today's snowflake is the first one named after a mountain I've actually climbed!

[Apak]

Not only the snowflake is beautiful, but also all the pictures with it - so artistic! :clap:clap

I'm not caught up yet for January but at least I didn't fall further behind...
