100 Snowflake Challenge
I Had a small problem this holiday season. When I was looking at my tree,
it was so pretty, and I liked it so much, but something was wrong, it needed more.
I couldn't figure out "more" what... but more.
Then I was taking my decorations down and I got it. It struck me just exactly what was wrong.
The only tatting on my tree, were 2 snowflakes and the yoyo's I recently made!
I had given the rest away recently as gifts, in the mail and on vacation!!!
I have a lot of hand made snowflakes on the tree, but they are crocheted, hand dyed
threads and beautiful, but still crocheted. So, this year, I have challenged myself to
a 100 snowflake challenge so that I will have enough tatting for next
year to put snow flakes on my own tree, as well
as giving away to new friends, or new designs to old ones.
***Anyone who wants to do this with me is welcome to! I am not making a time limit,
except ready before next Christmas, lol. I can make more of one snowflake,
but they don't count, they have to be 100 different designs, even if they are
but they don't count, they have to be 100 different designs, even if they are
just variations of similar designs, and I am also putting up a counter meter
so I can keep track of how many I have made without specifically counting. ***
Here are the first five of my 100 snow flake challenge.

I look forward to seeing if anyone wants to do this with me, either way,

i think its a great idea, i think i may try also!

I'd love to try but 100 sounds an awful lot! By the way aren't 3 & 4 the same with just an addition of a chain of 5ds at one point - does this count as different patterns?
ReplyDeleteTyrana, yes. If you look at 1 and 5, they are the same also except the outer rings. In 1 they are 6p6, in 1 they are just 10ds. you are going to find a lot of similar designs, however, they are still different. some will morph, some will be completely different, I will be doing each one of Jon's snowflakes in this challenge, etc. 100 is a lot of snowflakes. The idea for me is to have each one be just it's own, even if that means just slightly unique from another I have already made. Like no 2 real snowflakes are exactly alike, yet they may be close, so too may mine be close, but not exactly alike.
ReplyDeleteI want this to be fun for me, as well a rewarding in the end, and the same for anyone who decides to join. Even if we don't make it to 100 by the end of the year :)
I plan on doing one snowflake a week this year. I need to update my blog with the ones i have done so far.
ReplyDeleteQuite the challenge, but you're already well on your way!
ReplyDeleteAwesome snowflakes!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you make your goal!
