crocheted snowflake

120310


I love snow SO much I decided to bring some in with me!  We're never too old to try something new, to learn something new!  Never give up!

One of my blogger friends, Snowcatcher, shares a new crocheted snowflake pattern, or her own design, every single Monday.  I have not crocheted since I was a wee girl, with my grandma.  These snowflakes have kicked my butt!  It took me hours of trying to just get simply one to not look like a chaotic knot of thread, lol.  I was determined to make a few for people I thought would appreciate them.  After about 3 hours of attempts I finally got one lopsided flake.  I kept going and I have now made 9, none are perfect like Snowcatcher's, but I am hoping the people I share them with will simply appreciate that I tried, and tried, and I was thinking of them the entire time or I would have given up.

  6. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You did it! NINE times!!! I'm so proud of you!

    The picture is gorgeous. And as others have said, something from the heart is better than anything you can buy anywhere in any store! Your friends/loved ones will treasure these! (But tell 'em how much you put into them, too, for a little bit of extra warm fuzzy!)

  7. This is beautiful! How clever you are - I have never in my life crocheted and wouldn't know where to start. Are they strong enough to hang on the tree?
