thread snowflakes CAL

[Reneva]

Thanks so much Melissa, that sounds simple enough.

Hey everyone,

I'm just curious:think what are your plans for all of these snowflakes??

Some of mine will probably go to teachers at Christmas time, but I'd also love to hang a bunch of them from my ceiling with fishing line if I end up making enough. I think that would look amazing, you'd need lots and lots, though.

I've been giving them away and using them as decorations in my classroom. Winter is almost over here so the classroom snowflake decorations have to come down.

This sounds like fun! Does anyone know of any patterns for size 3 or 5 thread?

[sammimag]

You can do any pattern in 3 or 5 thread. The snowflake will just be bigger.

[slicer]

I realize they will be bigger, but I don't want them too be that big. I did a few with the larger thread, but some ended up being a bit too big.

I don't know what I'll do with all mine if I can get them finished. I think some will be christmas presents and some for my tree and some to give on RAOK's and swaps I hope.

Hi everyone... new to this site...very excited... I am so happy to find a CAL for thread snowflakes... I started back to crocheting making these and have drifted away to many other projects. So hopefully i can get atleast one in a week.

Glad you're here, Bunni! And welcome to the 'ville.

Hi Bunni, you're not to far behind the rest of us. I don't get one a week done, but when I do sit down to do them I try to do three or four at once.

[melissacrochets]

We're on week 10. Where are you on your flakes? I know I am ahead but that's because I knew I would eventually get behind. I think I'll make one today but I can't promise; I've got homework to do.

[sammimag]

I have not made any in a few weeks. I have given away a few in packages I have sent out too. So if I wanted them all for myself I am behind.

 

It's likely my snowflake production will increase this summer when I'm wanting some quick projects that aren't too hot.

and you're dreaming of something coooooooool.

I haven't crocheted any snowflakes for a while either. My next door neighbor is expecting a baby in eight weeks so she has had me sewing the curtains, dust ruffle and some other things for the baby's room. As soon as I get all the sewing done, I am going to get back to my snowflakes.

I guess I'm ahead if I'm counting 1 a week but I'm behind for making the amount I want to try to do lol. I'll try to sit down and just do snowflakes one week. I just did a thread project for my Mom and am kind of wanting to work with bigger thread right now lol.

don't push yourself. If I did one every week, I would be so tired of snowflakes. I do one when I can. I just happen to be ahead of myself at the moment.

Is it too late to join this one? Maybe if I count some of the flakes i started last year. i'd love to do this with you guys.

[breeluvselvis]

I'd love to join this CAL, if it's not too late. This is a great way to stock up on my snowflakes for this year's Christmas bazaar.

 

P.S. Karin, I like your user name. I should change mine.

we'd love to have you. We're a quiet CAL but there's lots of talent and a lot of people willing to help.

 

Welcome to C'ville.

OK...I don't know if I will be able to get 1 a week done, since I am just starting to learn to thread crochet, but I am in. I am armed with the 101 Snowflakes book, #10 thread, steel crochet hooks, styrofoam board, non-rust pins and stiffener solution. I should get my first one done sometime this weekend, and if I have time to block it, I will get a picture of it.
