Snowflake Mondays 2009

[Allicats]

Allicats, that flake is just beautiful!

 

Thank you. Didn't Marika do a bang up job?

 

And when can we expect another one from you? I really enjoyed the flake you gave us in January.

For all of you snowflake makers I thought you might like to know about a "Snowflake Swap" that will be starting on September 15th. All the info is in the Crochetville Swaps area. I thought it sounded like fun. We make and swap 3 snowflakes with another person from Crochetville. It runs through the end of October. Making 3 snowflakes shouldn't be a problem for any of us, but I think it would sure be fun to have some some made by someone else. See what you think. Maybe I'll see some of you over there.

I think you are a ... Perhaps this would be my way of getting back into actually making flakes again - and I should be able to scrounge at least 3 pre-made ones if my deadlines get the better of me! (Hopefully noone will be offended by that if it becomes a necessity!)

If anyone else is humming and hawing over the swap, just know that while it begins on 15th September, sign-ups close Sunday the 13th of September at 6:00 pm!

 

Come on in and join the fun!!!!

 

:flake

is all it takes!

I'm sure that some of your premades would be perfectly lovely.

Happy Antipodean Monday to you all.

I do not know enough Irish Crochet terminology to follow her notes, and it is on a soon-to-expire hosting site, but WOW! isn't it beautiful?

Oh, my, that is pretty. I think it's actually a form of tatting rather than crochet work, but I could be wrong.

 

By the way, did we have a snowflake for last week? Or did I just miss it?

Just gorgeous!

Wanda, Thanks for sharing! And if you are feeling generous........

She did refer to it as Irish Crochet I think, but if it is tatting that could explain the seemingly different code .

 

And, yes, you just missed it ... I do not always post a reply to the thread about new flakes, I believe I just updated the first post in the thread last week... apologies for that as I know it won't notify you if you subscribe to the thread that way (I'll try to remember to post an actual post each week .)

 

Now to pick an actual flake ...

[marikamum]

Just gorgeous!

Wanda, Thanks for sharing! And if you are feeling generous........

 

I refer you to the former post detailing my inability to crack the code of that flake... but don't worry my pretty, I have plans afoot for you!

[marikamum]

Hi all, I've put a new one in the first thread... I don't think we've done this one before...

I thought about that one when you mentioned studying Irish Crochet. It's on my list of ones I'd like to do sometime. Really pretty.

It's very pretty and I found a page where she explains some of it.

HI all,

 

Here is the link for this week's flake:

I'm about to update post #1.

 

My apologies for being late - my hubby ran an update on the computer last night so I couldn't get on and then I was called in for a supply teaching day today so I haven't been able to access things.

 

Cheers!

Thanks, Marika. BTW, I've posted a new snowflake in the original patterns section. It's called Crystal's Snowflake and was designed for my snowflake swap partner. I think it turned out very pretty if I do say so myself.

We'll definitely pop it into the rotation, though I think I have already picked the first flake for October

So, I am returning to a recent source and presenting an up to the minute flake - the October 19 Flake:

Thanks, snowcatcher ... I love the stories, too. :hugs to your hubbie!

[Allicats]

I still haven't done this week's flake, but I did finally get a bunch of other flakes off the hooks, in & out of the glue bath and on & off of the blocking board. Here are weeks 37 - 41:

Allicats, your flakes are gorgeous!

I just joined since I'm joining some friends doing the "Snowflake Mondays" with you all. I just did my very first snowflake, ever, last week ~ Crystal's Snowflake ~ turned out really cute, and had so much fun doing it.

 

I've been working on a Scripture afghan for a friend's birthday next month, November. And also working on crocheting doilies ~ one in particular is an old doily I'm trying my hand at duplicating for the first time, without a pattern. After frogging it about 5 times now, I may get it down pat ~ ~ just trial and error, right?

 

I had gotten away from crocheting the past several years, so it really feels good to get back into the swing of things ~ I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed crochet.

I hope to be an active part of CrochetVille and make a lot of new friendships here.
