Pretty and intricate. I like seeing the stones and the crochet both with and without the snow.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Thank you, catsynth! Best wishes to you and Luna in the coming year, too!
DeleteThese are awesome! I love the little stacks of stones, and the last photo in the snow.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margaret! I should have had an orange one in there for you... :)
DeleteI LOVE your rocks covered in snowflakes! All the best in 2013!
ReplyDeleteThank you, CameraGirl! Happy new year to you, too!
DeleteLovely theme ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks, Neferi!
DeleteThese are so neat. I think you should start selling them by putting a little ring of elastic on the back side so people could then fit them to their own rock. I see a new cottage industry starting here. :) Snowrocks.
ReplyDeleteRockin' Snowflakes... I love it! Thanks, Marigold! I may take that idea and run with it! Or at least bike with it...
DeleteI can only imagine how gorgeous your Christmas tree is with all your snowflakes! I adore the photos of them!
ReplyDeleteThank you, KB! I thought my tree was gorgeous this year because I put only handmade ornaments on it. That made it pretty special. It was very sad to take it down...
DeleteYay! Snow!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find all those great rocks? Around here they all seem to be too - well - rocky. Not round and smooth like yours.
I really like the pictures of the snowrocks in the snow. :)
Thanks, Sue! Most are river rocks. Some came with the house, some were given to me by my neighbors because their houses came with round rocks, too, and I bought a bucket of them at a landscaping place. Oh, and I've collected one at each special place, but shhhhhhhhh, don't tell!
DeleteYour lovely covered stones are inspiring me to make more...it's been awhile for me. I got derailed with gift crocheting and always my favorite...shawls. I need a good stash of these, just to sit and look at.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Everydayephiphanies! I get derailed by other fun stuff, too, such as socks, quilts, amigurumi... But the rocks are so much fun, and they truly are fun to come home to in the garden every day! Especially when I can see only part of them poking through the snow!
DeleteLove the stacks of rocks waiting to be snowcatched
ReplyDeleteBest. Comment. Ever. !!!
DeleteLove your rock socks.! I love your blog. Made many of your flakes and gave them in cards. Thanks for all the patterns, you are very clever. MY fav is the queens stage. Question- after they hang freely for about 2 weeks, start to bow. Is that not enough glue? The ones I hung from suction cups against the window are fine. The ones I hung from the curtain rod an thread are floppy. What should I do? I plan I keeping them up all year. I love them, your patterns are super easy to read. Great job. I will check back soon for the ans. Thank You, happy new year, keep on trekkin. pam
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam! Let me ask on Ravelry about the droopy snowflakes; it seems it came up once before and the answer was humidity. The nice thing is they are easily reshaped; just pin them again, probably only on the main points, and give it another layer of watered-down glue. I had the same thing happen with the flakes I stiffened with Modge Podge, and they may be reshaped by finger.
DeleteHumidity... great for the skin, not so great for snowflakes...
Just looked up the old thread on Ravelry, and humidity is indeed to blame for drooping snowflakes. But just reshape. It was noted several times that reshaping is required every couple of years, even if you keep them in storage, unless you keep them perfectly flat.
