38 and 39

 


Still working my way through Four Dozen Tatted Snowflakes. Here's #38 at the top and #39 at the bottom, with a little doodle to use up the rest of my thread. I'm planning a display for all 48 of them once I finish so I can admire them for the winter.

Some Distractions

 


Continuing to tat through Robin Peretti's Four Dozen Tatted Snowflakes, and here are snowflakes #34 and #35. Unfortunately I got distracted during each of these and if you want to amuse yourself by spotting the mistakes, you can. There is one major one, which I had to be creative about to make the snowflake work with, and one minor one which just affects the symmetry. Hopefully I'll tat them properly next time, but for now they are good enough, and you can still see the beauty of the patterns.

Snowflake Time

 I've been tatting snowflakes at top speed for the past month or so. Here is a sampling:


Most of these are from Robin Perfetti's new Four Dozen Tatted Snowflakes. I was so excited for this book and it did not disappoint. So many lovely designs and so satisfying to tat. I've made it up through Snowflake #33 and I'm probably going to start again as soon as I finish #48. 

This picture also has some other Robin Perfetti designs and a lot of Frivole designs as well. There's also Muskaan's Frost Flower and some designs by Harohlahlala of Shade Tree Designer Tatting which I found on Facebook.

There are so many fantastic snowflake designs out there that I am having serious trouble making enough time to tat every one that I like. Not an onerous problem to have!
