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.
Fabulous snowflake!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSneakily clever way to make that snowflake!!! Anything to avoid a cut and tie, eh?!?!?
ReplyDeleteLove the way you went about it :-) Lovely snowflake!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteYou said it, Jane! The fewer ends I have to deal with the better.
ReplyDeleteSCMR-clever girl! Looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle. That's a technique I just love.
ReplyDeleteMaking the SCMRs gives nice teardrop shapes to the center rings!
ReplyDeleteHope your computer issues get solved!
This is really lovely.
