The Third Day of December (ok....it's actually only October yet, but this is the name of the snowflake I tatted). :)

A few years ago I saw this awesome snowflake on the internet and really wanted to tat it.  Well....I bought the book 24 Snowflakes in tatting by Lene Bjorn and actually tried to tat it, but failed miserably!!!!  I quit and put it away.  Well, I have been looking for this book for several weeks trying to figure out where I placed it so that I could tat some snowflakes from it.  Today, something said to look in one of the plastic drawers and there it way.  Then, something said to tat this snowflake, so I did and actually succeeded this time!!!  :)  Guess I should just keep listening to that something which knew where the book was and that I could tat the snowflake this time.  :)
It's tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Snow White.  :)

Dear Sue, this is simply spectacular ! I don't remember seeing anything like this before. The central rounds look gorgeous with those picots, giving it such a dimensional & 'full body' look.

Thank you for showing us such beauty!!So nicely executed!

This is a snowflake that I can't make.I will have to be patient, until someone can show me.

Thank you very much everyone for all the wonderful comments!!! :)
Tally Tatty, you can do it!! :) Like I said, the first time I failed miserably, but maybe a tutorial would help a bit for others who struggle too. Let me see what I can do. :)

Your snowflake makes me want to do this model. I also want to buy this book because I am shocked he has been around on the internet. It makes me sad to see Lene Bjorn its copyrights are despised.

Thank you Lilas!!! :) People should learn to be more considerate of others!!

I too tried to tat this and got frustrated and quit. I have the book and have struggled with the instructions. I have tatted a few but each had several attempts. This one I do not know how to start the second round. Did you ever do a tutorial on it?

God's Kid said...

Hi Dawn, No, I have never done a tutorial on it, nor have I tatted a second, although I have wanted to. When I tried to tat it at first I used a smaller thread. I then changed to a larger thread and that made a huge difference and actual success. So, I would suggest trying a larger thread one step at a time. ;)
