I used to make snowflakes (and tiny stockings, too) when I was a kid, and I got so many orders one yet right before Christmas, I had to start turning them down because my parents wouldn't let me stay up all night to crochet!!!

I LOVE how the purple and black snowflake looks here, so formal, it could be worn instead of a tie or bow tie at the upcoming high school snowballs! And who but you would think to make owls out of the same pattern!!! <br />When I was younger, I use to make snowflakes every year for friends and family. I can say that I had not made any for 10 years. I needed a grab bag gift for my spinning guild and thought I made snowflake stitch markers which I designed and made. Well, this got me hooked again! I have been cruising your web site obsessively sense I found it. Thank you for your wonderful web site again! <br />flutterbyhatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639113178979681816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-17874890667085839722012-11-21T11:25:46.464-07:002012-11-21T11:25:46.464-07:00Hi again, Charlie Ann.

I feel silly filling up your blog comments with this, would it be appropriate to move the conversation to Ravelry inboxes?<br /><br />In any case, I think my snowflake starts getting off at the end of round 2, in the last section. "sk 1 dc, 2 dc in same dc as starting dc, ch 1, 1 dc in 3rd ch of starting dc to form final ch 3 sp." One DC in 3rd chain of starting, doesn't look anything like the other ch 3 spaces. And nothing looks right after that! <br /><br />I love your snowflakes! They make me so happy even just to look at yours.Charlie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007766495511708729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-26051985299245013022012-11-18T18:59:18.109-07:002012-11-18T18:59:18.109-07:00Hi again, Charlie Ann.

The last couple of weeks have been pandemonium, but I think I'm almost back on track now.<br /><br />I'm not sure, but I think what might be getting you off count is the first half double crochet in the same chain as the slip stitch. I've worked up another one and will post the pictures to this blog as soon as I can, although it might not be until tomorrow, to see if that might help you. In the meantime, you could work the half double crochet into the same space with the double crochet, and then work the next single crochet into the double crochet, just skipping over that chain 3 that counts as a double crochet all together. That should get your count right.<br /><br />Again, I apologize for taking so long to respond to you.Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-20587800968296157082012-11-07T14:12:01.935-07:002012-11-07T14:12:01.935-07:00Thanks for looking at it again for me.

It's difficult for me to picture the crochet without a hook in my hands, so when I get home, I will take a look and see if I can figure out what is happening, if that's what you need. I don't blame you for going cross-eyed though...

My chain 3s that count as dcs and my chain 3 spaces don't work out right, I end up with either not enough DCs or not enough ch spaces to do row 4. I keep using different yarn and hooks trying to get a combination that I can see what I'm doing wrong, but now I'm just going cross-eyed!Charlie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007766495511708729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-15451660125982543022012-10-23T18:31:26.778-06:002012-10-23T18:31:26.778-06:00This is a glorious flake - and I'm ashamed to ...This is a glorious flake - and I'm ashamed to say I didn't see owls until the "Twilight Owls" photo. But what very clever construction! And owls are so hot right now - you'll be en vogue. :)<br /><br />I think the black one with orange beads is my fave - it's very elegant, and looks as though it might make a lovely shawl if the motifs were joined.Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-35964278796178851562012-10-22T16:36:22.050-06:002012-10-22T16:36:22.050-06:00Oh, Jackie, that's hilarious, in a sad sort of...Oh, Jackie, that's hilarious, in a sad sort of way!

Seriously though, Owl motifs...You're welcome! <br /><br />Seriously though, Owl motifs bring back a lot of fond memories for me! <br /><br />When I was very small, my grandmother became obsessed with macrame. She must have made 15 large owls within a six month period. The largest and most complicated one she gave to my father, who put it up in our dark basement. <br /><br />That owl gave me nightmares. She used a large piece of driftwood for the base, which made it look like it had these giant claws. When my dad finally figured out why his 4-year old daughter refused to go down into the basement, he took it down and put it away. <br /><br />I finally uncovered the terrifying owl last summer as I was cleaning out my dad's garage. It now sits on my living room wall! Should my husband and I decide to procreate, I shall pass on the "scare the crap out of your child with a macrame owl" tradition!
