ReplyDeleteWhat is trtr? 4 wraps around the needle?
ReplyDeleteYes, Katie, you are correct, triple treble.
DeleteThis is the most beautiful site I have seen with snowflakes. I didn't know there were so many designs. Thank you for posting such beauty
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lynn Marie! You've made my whole day!
DeleteCould you please tell me if you have books available if all of your snowflake designs? I would like to buy all of them eventually. I’ve made tons of your snowflakes, but I really prefer having a printed pattern. Please let me know.
ReplyDeleteHi, and thank you for taking the time to comment. I do have 7 pdf booklets I make available via charitable donations, and I am working on an 8th right now. I’m also trying to line up a new charity... either the Michael J. Fox Foundation or the Phinney Foundation, both of which serve those with Parkinson’s, and plan to make the announcement and release the 8th booklet in November.
