"snowflake mondays" a past post i had seen UPDATE WEEK #4

Love the snowflakes:flake

[missmaxx]

Hi Everyone,

I took break from my St Patrick project and noticed there isn't a pattern up for this week. If it's OK I'll be happy to suggest one.

I found this one in a CPC link. I haven't made one yet but it looks fairly easy and (I thought) very pretty. http://hometown.aol.com/stitchvvwitch/page10.html

 

I will have more time to give to snowflakes after my Irish table topper is done - I had to give it to my sister un-done today for her b-day. I brought it back home after the cake & ice cream - I'm on row 35 and Row 48 is the last - then there are 16 big shamrocks and 12 small irish roses. With a little luck I'll be done by Easter. It's just a good thing we're Irish enough to display this one a little longer than St Patrick's Day!

 

I'll add a complete list of weeks later this evening when I have more time to double check the links.

 

Happy Crocheting,

[crochet4ever]

I love your snowflakes and I think you should have butterfly Tuesdays.

Hi again everyone,

Happy Crocheting,

Thanks, Nancy We've had a busy week with my husband in Bangkok Wed - Sun morning, ds's 2nd birthday party Sun afternoon and such .

 

It looks beautiful , and as a bonus, I don't think I've seen it in my snowflake searches ... I love new sources - and teamwork!

 

Can't wait to see piccies of your table topper when it is finished - if you give it to her without photographing it first, I am sure you will have a deputation of C'villers sent after you .

 

Happy ,

[sheryl*]

Has anyone fallen behind on this? or is it just me? lol. Soooo many things to do and that doesn't include our crochet. I'll be caught up soon I hope, until then it sounds like you all are having a good time :O)

I haven't managed the last two weeks, but hope to catch up when my other time sensitive projects (Easter stuff and doily swap) are completed .

 

Glad you are still popping in, though

 

Cheers,

I'm way behind due to trying to finish other projects:eek

[kazily]

I haven't done last weeks snowflake yet. It's been a busy week & now Easter weekend & the kids spring break. I'll probably have to do last weeks flake & this upcoming Sunday flake together (if we're having an Easter Sunday one...I can post it if it's ok). Other than that I am staying up with them ok because they're pretty quick. Last weeks flake is big though (7 inches) so it may take me longer to catch up.

Post away, Shell , that would be great! Wow! 7 inches, maybe this will be one for me to try in a finer thread (so far I've just looked at the pic and printed out the pattern...) I finished my Easter pressies for the kids, so now I just have my doily swap doily to finish and then I'll be back in flake-land

Hi everyone,

I'm looking out my window at at least 3" of new snow. It's the Sat before Easter, come on Mother Nature lighten up! I'm looking forward to your snowflake Shell - it's the only snow I'm looking forward to this weekend.

I too have some catching up to do. I have the last three weeks patterns waiting for me. I don't even want to think about the table topper - I feel like I'm stuck in a St Patrick's Day time warp. :clover I'll only say it's the table topper that just won't end.

Hoping for spring,

[marikamum]

"Let's do the time warp again..."

 

No, really, Nancy, I hope your time warp is over soon... I am sure that both winter and that table topper will be done with sometime soon! Over here, we are easing into autumn...

 

Happy Easter, all Marika

[missmaxx]

Thanks Marika. I just keep reminding myself, "It's a jump to the left, then a step to the right..."

Happy Easter everyone,

[furball1234]

Hi! I was wondering if you all are still doing this. If so what is the pattern for this week? My friend and I made a few snowflakes to give out a couple years ago. They are always fun and fast to make.

 

 

Sue

[missmaxx]

Hi Sue,

Yes we are going strong. Welcome! The weeks patterns have been posted on Sunday evenings - so we're all looking forward this weeks now! There are links to all the past weeks throughout the thread. The easiest one to locate is on page one of this thread - post #6 from busy-bee-lmt. And if I haven't already I'd like to say thanks to busy-bee-lmt for keeping us organized.

We're happy to have you along,

[kazily]

Welcome Sue!

 

Hi all! Sorry I took all day to post the pattern I said I would post for this week. It is on my blog . I wrote one out last week that I was playing with. It's a very simple starflake. I had another in works for today but one row needs a error fixed. Please let me know if you find any errors in this one.

 

So here is this weeks snowflake.

Thanks, Shell :')! And a homegrown pattern to boot excellent! Can;t wait to finish off my other projects and get stuck into this (and my other backlogged flakes )

 

And welcome to you, Sue

Cheers, Marika

[furball1234]

The only color threads I have ar,he yellow and pink,blue,green,purple variegated. Using yellow for my doilies but could I use the variegated for the snowflakes? I'd be happy to buy white if need be

[suzidemars]

Oh my gosh we're on week 12???

I've done 3!!!

Spring fever hit, I cant make myself sit down anymore!

Hopefully when its nice out (finally) I can sit outside and crank out the flakes!

Sue, there are no rules! Use whatever colour(s) make(s) you happy! If you want white snowflakes, get white... if you want purple variegated, do purple variegated, if you want a rainbow, do a rainbow ... Frankly, some folks don't even do the posted patterns, we're really pretty much just committed to making snowflakes (on average, one per week ) So, kick back, relax and flake out :flake

 

Cheers from a flaky lady,

[furball1234]

Suzi, that's pretty funny to think you are making snowflakes in the summer.

 

 

I made my first snowflake of the year today. Eventually I'll have to put the picture up.

[kazily]

I think it'd be pretty to use another color than white. I may try that on a few flakes.

I need to go out for more thread soon, I'm almost out! (I'm a yarny crocheter & don't buy much thread)

[furball1234]

So when will we be updating the next list of snowflakes, I'm ready. Been working on doilies AND should knock out some that are all ready listed as I have only one of them done.

[missmaxx]

Hi everyone,

If no one else has a pattern ready to post I'd like to suggest we re-visit sarahanns's page and try #7. The address is http://www.sarahanns.com/crochetworks/snowflakes.html

 

This one attracted my attention when we were doing # 3 & #4. It has a more "solid" look to it which (I think) makes a nice departure from the more lacy ones. I like variety!

Is anyone with me?
