Christmas 2011 Snowflake #2


This pattern is also Susanne Schwenke's from her book Spitzen-Ideen on page 22. I chose this to tat because it seemed an unusual pattern. My block tatting was not too neat but I still love the pattern. This is snowflake #2.

    Very pretty pattern

    I find block tatting very challenging. I do like the effective way it is used in this motif.

    You are on your way to a tree decorated with snowflakes for 2011 Christmas. Can't wait for your next design as your first two are very pretty.

    This pattern is very attractive, and I love the effect of the block tatting. I've never done block tatting but I would think it's easier to do than clunies, yet Fox (who has mastered clunies) seems to think block tatting is challenging!

    Is this book available on the internet?

    Hi Kathy,

    I got my copy here
    http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9783831146307/Occhi---Tatting---Frivolit

    It is a lovely book.

    Hi Tatting-Marie,
    I hope so. At the rate I am going, I may end up with 24 snowflakes. I have not decided on the 3rd one yet, maybe another pattern of Susanne.

    Thank you Fox and God's Kid,
    I love the shape of this snowflake although I think the block tatting could have been neater with smaller spacer picots.
