This little snowflake was tatted with a found Coats crochet thread in size 40. It measures 1.5 inches in diameter.
I think I do need to perfect my tension as some of the 'arms' look a bit fatter than the rest.
As for the 3-d blossom, well, let's just say that my test tat looked more like a poodle pom-pom gone mad. I haven't totally given up on the idea, but it certainly needs more thought.
I am making headway with the little octopus, and should have it completed for next time, along with the pattern for anyone who may be interested. Until then, keep cool! I think I'll head to the lake.
Thanks for visiting.

Your snowflake looks great as it is from what I can see. I hope you are able to keep cool & not melt in the heat. I can't wait to see your octopus! I kept looking but I didn't find one. I'm sorry, I found other things but that. I'll stop by again soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, Yah! It is HOT! I have no air anywhere - car, apartment or work! Not a great way to go down a jeans size!

Very sweet! I don't think I've seen a tatted snowflake before and I really like it!
ReplyDeletebsotf, thanks for the comments and the vote of confidence. octopus next post for sure. It's a very simple pattern.
ReplyDeletefox, I hope we get some rain soon. I remember the heat being much worse in concrete TO, even with the trees, so I hope you are not sweltering.
Hey, jillayne, glad you like my l'il snowflake. Actually, there are many, many snowflake patterns around, most a lot more intricate than mine. It seems to be a favoured motif of many tatters.
Thank you all for visiting. Hugs from Suz
