Let it snow! Day 13

I think this will be my last adaptation of Doodad Snowflake #3. I put the doodad back in the middle, and I used one bead in place of each Josephine ring. I miss my picots and my Josephine rings, so it's time to move on!

Let it snow! Day 12

Here's another variation of Doodad Snowflake #3. The inside rings have two beads in place of the picot. I'm not sure I like the two beads. Three looks so much better to me. The Josephine rings have been replaced by a single bead.

This one looks okay, but I really miss the Josephine rings. I think they really make the snowflake.

Let it snow! Day 11

Here's another version of Doodad Snowflake #3, only this one has no doodad! I like the look of this one, but I still prefer having the doodad in the center. The snowflake seems to hold its shape better, and I like that little bit of added weight.

This adaptation of Doodad Snowflake #3 has beads on the outer rings instead of picots. I kind of like it!

Let it snow! Day 9

This is Doodad Snowflake #3 (see tab above for pattern). This is one of my favorites because of the Josephine rings. I love Josephine rings!

My third grade girls finished reading the Craftsy article I wrote about tatting shuttles. They asked if there was anything else they could read, so I brought up my blog. They loved seeing all the snowflakes, and they asked if there was any way to see who was reading my blog. I took them to the stats page, and they were fascinated! They asked if they could come back tomorrow to read more, and they asked if they could read my blog at home. I think I'll be putting some tatting kits together over the Christmas break. I'm having so much fun with my young tatting enthusiasts!
