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 (currently a year behind!), plus any cards as required. As my Carpal Tunnel allows I am getting into yarn/fabric crafts with slow stitching and needle felting added to my list. I continue with my love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus Faith/Art Journaling with acrylics and inks. I completed my challenge to make an art journal page a day for my 60th year in 2024. My list of crafty exploits includes ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery. 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. I also like Walking/Geocaching. I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Evangelical 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.
