Snowflake Mondays 2009

[Allicats]

Week 28 - from Cheryl's creations snowflake three is in fact missing something - I did see some discussion here on that one but haven't retried it yet.

 

Week 29 - Maybe my brain is fried - it is 96 here today - and the rounds may just be melting but I cannot get round 6. Has anyone else tried it?

 

Week 30 - Chain Loop snowflake - On the last round - h 3? Is it hd 3? Or I'm I just being dense? I tried hd 3 times but I'm not even sure the picture there is of the pattern we're doing. Just wondering if anyone else had a problem.

 

Week 28: Insert this line ch 4, sl st in 4th ch to form picot, sl st in next ch before the sc in ring for the short point.

 

Week 29: I had fits with round 5. The designer was very nice and explained that round to me twice. I still couldn't seem to wrap my head around it, but didn't want to hound her again. This is how I did it

Rnd 5:

Ch 7, sl st in sc,

*ch 7, sl st in next ch-9 sp, [ch 7, sl st, ch 7, sl st] in next sc,

Repeat from * 5 more times.

End with ch 7, sl st in next ch-9 sp, ch 7.

Join with sl st in starting sl st.

 

Week 30: h-3 loop should be ch-3 loop

 

If any of this doesn't make sense, just speak up! I try to make notes when I'm changing something, but it doesn't always happen and when it does, it might only make sense to me.

I think we haven't done this week's flake before (I did not remember the name at least )... Check out the front page for the Fast and Flurry-ous flake of the week!

 

Cheers!

[Allicats]

Fast and Flurry-ous really was fast...

Hi all,

I've put Linda's September Snowflake as the flake of the week - It is September already here in Oz! Sorry for the delay in posting, but, exciting news for me: it looks like I may have sold a scarf pattern to a magazine ... just need to work through the details with them ...

 

Cheers!

Hi all,

I've put Linda's September Snowflake as the flake of the week...

...exciting news for me: it looks like I may have sold a scarf pattern to a magazine

 

I really like this flake. For some reason it gave me fits -- Not your fault, Linda! -- I could not seem to keep track of where I was in the very clear, quite simple directions. Despite my trials, I am thrilled with the results and intend to make more of them...

 

 

Marika, congratulations on the scarf. That is such great news!

[busy-bee-lmt]

Glad you like it, Allicats. Sorry you had so many problems with it. Which reminds me that I have four more snowflakes to take pictures of and get directions posted for. December may give some of you fits, but I really like the way it turned out. Sooooo.....

Not your fault. The directions were quite clear. I can normally do one repeat and then not refer to the pattern until the next round. For some reason I had to keep looking -- okay, I've done this, what's next? There were six simple steps. Don't know why I couldn't keep them in line in my mind.

 

I am really looking forward to the next four. Think I'll go make some more September flakes while I wait.

[marikamum]

Thanks for all the congratulations, folks

I am very excited , just waiting on the so I can start

I'll see if I can't fit that into this long weekend.

No pressure After all, I have been saying I would write up my flake since (I've looked cursorily back through the posts...) at least July 14th!!

 

But, finally, I have come through on my promises and present my offering for the week: http://marikamum.blogspot.com/2009/09/sand-dollar-snowflake.html ... it is totally untested - so PLEASE let me know if you have any questions/concerns or outright problems with it! I am holding off on posting it to Ravelry until a few folks from here have done it so that I can offer it as a final version - if the blog version annoys any of you, I can email you a .pdf version if you PM me or email me with your email address.

 

Regards,

[Gardener]

Marika, that snowflake is gorgeous!!!

Okay, I've got it printed off. Will see how it goes.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Okay, my four most recent snowflakes and instructions are posted in the original patterns section now. Hope you enjoy them.

NIce, Linda... I especially like the one in the bottom right hand corner

[Gardener]

Thanks Linda, I like them all!

[Allicats]

Nice new group of flakes, Linda. I'll be looking forward to them showing up the first of each of the next three months.

Really nice flake, Marika. And very unusual. I really enjoyed it.

 

And while I put all of my flake patterns into pdfs, I like having them in text so that I can enlarge the print -- so the blog source is no annoyance at all.

Thanks, Allison :') It looks fantastic! I'll set it up on Ravelry now so you can link your project.

Allicats, that flake is just beautiful!
