Belated Happy New Year & Snowflake Challenge

Hope everyone had a very safe & prosperous New Year - ours was relatively quiet.

Perusing the blogs I came across Bree's post here about doing 100 snowflakes in a year and thought 100!!!!..........WOW that's alot, then thought oh, heck....give it a try..........so here we go

At no.1 we have Frivole's flocon from here (done in Lizbeth Spring Garden, I think)




At no.2 is a pattern of Wanda's that I was cheeky enough to ask for LOL - she mentioned it on this post (done in Lizbeth Cotton Candy)



Neither has been blocked and I don't think the background was the right colour choice.

No image of no.3 as yet but just to tease............it's another pattern of Wanda's but this time a new one that you may just get to see later on!!!

I've managed to get a few "new" books on eBay recently which are duplicates of ones I already own so there will be a shameless plug for them when I come to sell them in the next wee while. To mention a couple - one is a Konior book & the other Elgiva's rare one but as the replacements are not here as yet I won't tease you any further LOL.


By the way, anyone got any ideas about the previous post - all help gratefully received!


TTFN

Still avoiding it

I will have to apologise profusely to Karey - I am still avoiding the issue with the "thing" for her. I did unpick the mistake a few stitches back and then very carefully put it away!!!!;) I really must get back to it.

Instead I started on the edging for my Valentine tea-towel - now I remember why I don't normally do edgings - I don't know about anyone else, but no matter how pretty the edging I find them intensely boring to tat. I would much rather tat a doily, mat, earrings, motif etc - in other words anything else rather than an edging or insertion. The pattern I have picked is really pretty and I have modified it slightly so it has more attachment picots so I have the option of adding it as a proper edging rather than on the tea-towel itself, but I still struggle.

I finally got my belated Christmas present from Ally (DS) in the post from Malaysia today - he picked Jon's Snowflake book (available from Jon at her blog) as I frequently do her Rings-Only Snowflake as an exchange gift and he loves it, so he chose the book. I have been very good and only had a quick glance so I don't get tempted till after Karey's & the Valentine exchanges are finished.
