17th Day of December Snowflake

The Seventeenth Day of December 
from Lene Bjorn's 24 Snowflakes in Tatting
DMC Cecelia size 30
Finished diameter 9 cm or 3.6 inches
Motif #11 for 2nd 25 Motif Challenge of 2016

By starting with a clover from the outside round and making the 2nd ring of the clover a self-closing mock ring, I was able to tat this in one round. I left a mock picot between the inside rings and the mock rings to give the illusion of a separate round as in the original. 

This, too, is one of the items I tatted while my computer was down last week.

Sneakily clever way to make that snowflake!!! Anything to avoid a cut and tie, eh?!?!?

You said it, Jane! The fewer ends I have to deal with the better.

Thanks, Michelle. That's a technique I just love.

Making the SCMRs gives nice teardrop shapes to the center rings!

Hope your computer issues get solved!
