Can you tell it's my first Christmas with the ability to crochet?!
There are so many different patterns out there, I decided to try a few and see what I liked :)
I want to say some were more fiddly than others, but I think my skills just improved as I progressed ;)
They vary in size hugely, but were all created with 4 ply wool and a 2mm hook.
"Pretty Snowflake" (my favourite!)
And I stiffened them all slightly with a PVA and water spray, and hung with clear thread. I thought about adding a strand of sparkle thread to them, or spraying them with glitter. But there's something rather lovely about the plain white :)
So Christmassy :) Have you tried any snowflake patterns you'd recommend? I'd love to see your results!
Also, I just want to tag this in over at Julia Crossland's Being Creative Winter theme. Not sure how involved I'll be next year with the changes going on, but it's been a great experience and I've met some lovely people. Thanks for stopping by!

Love your simple soft silky snowflakes Helen. They look great as they are..pure and white..what a lot of variety - just like real ones - each one unique!
