I have been checking out a lot of different crochet books from the library so that I can preview them to see which ones I want to buy for my own shelves. In the process, I've run across some lovely motifs, and I thought it would be fun to crochet some of them into ornaments for Christmas. I particularly like the ones that would make pretty snowflakes, and since there are so many designs, I thought I'd make only one of each.
This particular snowflake is from
Super Stiches Crochet. I like it, but it turned out a little more unique than I had intended.
Can you spot my mistake?
I wasn't paying close attention (I was catching up on some Mad Men), and I ended up with a 5-pointed star instead of a 6-pointed snowflake.
Ahhh...that's better.
ETA I'm going to be adding any further snowflakes to the same
Rav project page.
Look at you with all your crochet! It's loverly!
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing last Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteMrMooncalf insisted that nobody would notice but I couldn't use them.
All through December I kept seeing window displays with 5-pointed snowflakes in. Amazing how you can before hyper-aware of a mistake :)
ha..i seriously wouldn't have noticed the mistake if you didn't say anything!! i love seeing all the crochet projects you've been working on!
ReplyDeletep.s. i posted it on my blog - but just in case, the star wars pancakes are from william sonoma! they have cookie cutters too!
wow, it's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe 5-pointed star looks like a person. Or at least that's what I see! They're both lovely
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a snowflake-bedecked tree. And what a lovely idea for gift toppers too.
PS I just added this book to my Amazon shopping cart and they're telling me that if I get the knitting version of this book, I'll get free shipping. You should get commission :-)
