About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Junk Journaling too. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Art Journaling, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing, but am plagued by a bad back. I like walking which I couple with Geocaching and sometimes Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I guess I am officially retired now. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

Snowflakes

Thought I'd try out the snowflake pattern using different hook sizes as suggested.

I used my DK cotton yarn and hook sizes 4mm, 3mm and 2mm.

The 2mm one was rather fiddly but manageable.

I then tried the 2mm hook with some crochet cotton and also a finer cotton and a 1mm hook.

Have to say I couldn't even see the hook part of the 1mm hook! It was more done by feel and I often dropped the stitches!


Definitely challenging with the smallest hook size! Now I really need to get some spray starch and pin out all these new snowflakes.
