Snowflakes

It's nice to re-visit patterns.  I've been making my way through my pattern book and hope to make some more.  I also spotted little amendments to make so will upload updated versions of patterns where necessary.

This is Céleste with "unarranged" picots
in silver thread and light teal and silver beads
I quite like that slightly messy look.


 Here it is again where I've played with the long picots a little bit
although I realised when I got to the end that I'd forgotten to make one!
Can you spot where?


This is Snowdrop


And lastly I made Twinkle Twinkle with pointy chains
to see how that would look
and I also made my latest snowflake with shorter arms
again, just to see!



Oh, and I got a name for it now!


I called it Qanik
It's the word for "falling snow" in Inuktitut
one of the Inuit languages


I think I will have a little draw... what do you think?
I will pick 5 names at random from comments to this post
to win a copy of Qanik.
... that's if you fancy making it of course!

Draw to be made very soon!


Are you guys busy making snowflakes too?  It's that time of year, isn't it.

Best wishes,
Frivole

  11. Es sind alles wunderschöne Schneeflocken. Bei Celeste 2 auf der linken Seite fehlt das lange Pikot. Stimmt es so? Qanik ist mein Faforit.
    Danke fürs Zeigen

  12. I love your tatting and love these fresh snowflakes. I did not notice the picots missing until you asked if we could see them....took me quite a while to see it because it is so beautiful....as the fallen snow. 😉

  15. They're beautiful! Yes, I'm going to be making a bunch of tiny snowflakes, and I think I'm planning to use one of your patterns, Twinkle Twinkle with the pointy chains, if I can figure out how to do a SCMR.
