25 motif challenge

Here are 4 more snowflakes made from patterns in Lene Bjorn's book. These are all done with #12 perle cotton - white. Their size is approx. 3.5" across.

There is a deviation from the pattern on the top, left flake. It has 7 tips rather than 6 because I put an extra chain in the center. It pays to count and watch what you're doing! When I noticed the mistake, I chose to continue rather than to scrap the project and start over. It's still a lovely snowflake.

As I'm making these I'm trying to decide which is my favorite. Right now I don't know. I'm also getting more adept at tatting in continuous rounds by using split chains and split rings. I'll be a better tatter when I complete this challenge.

Christmas gifts

This is a snowflake made from size 12 perle cotton blue 932 and 12 perle cotton white. It is made from an online tatting class pattern. I added a initial charm which hangs in the center.

I've made several of these with different charms in the center. They will be used as Christmas gifts. The size of this snowflake is 3.5" across.
