A crystallized 3D wild rose for Mom on Mother's Day! This flake does not have to be stiffened, but it looks better (and holds its shape longer) if it is blocked.Happy Mother's Day!
You may do whatever you'd like with snowflakes you make from this pattern, but you may not sell the pattern. Thanks, and enjoy!

You outdid your self. This is beautiful!!!!
This? Is breathtaking. The detail, the time spent creating it...
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. I so admire your patience and creativity!
This is so beautiful, but I would like to ask if you could tell us what the finished snowflake measures across from point to point?
thanks
Dee
Oops...I just found the size. Never mind...

WOW! This is by far the prettiest snowflake I have ever seen and the rose in the center just tops it off! Thank you for passing it on to us.
Wow! This is the prettiest snowflake I have ever seen and the rose in the center just takes your breath away. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us!
This is beautiful! My projects need to be mobile as I work in home health care and take my projects with me to work on while clients are sleeping, so I need to print the directions out on my computer but I must be missing something. The pictures will print, but not the text. What am I doing wrong?
Hi, Deb... good name!!! :)
Go to your print menu and select "print text as black" before printing. It doesn't show before you do that because you essentially are printing white text on white paper. But make sure to change it back after you get done so anything you try to print in color will print correctly.
Good luck, and please let me know if you need more help.
Gorgeous, Deborah! I might just have to name it my favorite!
I just want to copy this pattern so that I can make this beautiful Snow catcher also. Unfortunately, no matter what I do I cannot seam to get this site to allow my printer to print this pattern. This is not the first time I have had this problem. Is there any way I can print this or do I have to do something else? Please answer through my e-mail -linh4cats@yahoo.com. Thank you.
I saw the comment to DEB on the same subject that I wrote about and I tried to do the same. No luck, the page came out black with no printing on it at all. What else do you suggest?
As someone with MS (24 years), I want to thank you for participating in MS events. I used to do MS walks in Florida and was the highest fund raiser in each event I participated in! I can no longer walk very well, so I just donate instead of participate.
Your snowflakes are beautiful, and although my eyes are "going", I'm going to try and do one. :)
Best to you and your friends and family!
Thank you for the beautiful pattern. I copied to microsoft word and couldn't see words until I went to top of page to the left of type size, left of type, there is another drop down window. select normal....and your words should appear as if by magic. Good luck.
I love this snowflake, made one for my mother too. She loves it, probably as much as yours loves the one you made for her. Round 11 was a bit tricky to get through the first couple of repeats but I finally got the hang of it and the whole thing went smoothly. Thanks again for sharing all your beautiful snowflake patterns!
You don't have anyway to download the patterns. All of them are simply beautiful.

I just saw that you had the snowflake booklet out (just discovered your website!) - any way to purchase it despite the fundraiser being closed?
Why can't I print this pattern? It's tough to work from the computer. Is there anything you can do to correct this problem?
Thanks, Anita, knittingcurmudgeon and Nancyrose. Anita and Nancyrose, there are instructions in the sidebar, as well as in the comments above on this post, how to print from this blog.
OMGosh, this is beautiful! :)

I just made this one for my own mother- Dad had bought her roses for their 55th wedding anniversary just a couple weeks ago, and I made this one with rose red for the flower and dark green for the rest- absolutely stunning! Thank you!
here's a link to my red rose and green 'leaf-flake'!
