snowflake me roundup 1

Pin It now!

It is so difficult to choose just one lead pic as you will see scrolling down!

And so the roundup for our November event is ready, although tatters are still uploading pics from time to time - the latest being just a couple of hours back! 

Details posted here: https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/11/game-antics.html 

Pattern by Muskaan: Antiks Snowflake with an adapted E42 center: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U5J5sjuAA7D0qGPOGnK9RJ83MKdNkWSZ/view

Supplement with stepwise pictorial and other tips, options, and tutorials: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VFk4ZnBT9ObJxnEKgI6hUkk2wtd_gOD4/view 

It gives us immense pleasure to see that several of our participants took the time and effort to learn 'new-to-them' techniques through our Supplement!

Join Ninetta and me as we share the talents of our participants -

1. Ada Marie Diaz - chose to tat the flake in individual rounds using different colours for each! A Christmasy effect.

2. Amanda S Lohnes - her first attempt at split chains and mock rings!

3. Anita Barry - test tatted the snowflake several months back (https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/11/flaky-antics.html). 

She wrote -

Loved tatting this project in HH Lizbeth and Handy Hands metallic thread (although I had to pull hard to get the rings to close using the metallic thread).

And this is her 8-arm version. As I had said in the above post, I forgot to change the 8-point repeat (as in original Endrucks' #42) to 6 repeats in my written instructions and she went ahead and worked this beautiful version.

4. Anna Bonelli - pristine tatting as usual!

5. Anna Tedesco - always the multiplier, with a beautiful triplet in different colours.

6. Antonia Lai - a regular and enthusiastic participant learned split chains from Ninetta's video (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hKfqa3LHnUor9UAen7sdqPgzZe0elU2I/view) and her first attempt at ANKARS, too.

7. Catia Lemmetti - pleasantly surprised us with this beautiful bounty today!

The two trees are from our Dec game. 

8. Debra F Cox - wrote - 

...what a fun motif to make! ANKARS technique is new to me and I am still mastering split chains. All in all so fun to learn. I am told no 2 snowflakes are alike lol and mine is extra special with 7 points. Thank you for your patience and helping me learn new techniques on my tatting journey!

The small stars are designed by Ellen Lai. All motifs worked in Lizbeth color 190 silver thread size 20.

9. Jane McLellan - tatted this back in June when I had gifted her the pattern, and wrote about it in her blog - https://janemactats.blogspot.com/2023/06/in-which-there-is-tatting.html

10. Jiamrat Supapol - has quick shuttles, too! She tatted two flakes in different colourways.

Beautiful colourway - like a pond with reflections.

This one reminds me of corn fields!

11. Katie Verna - worked her cheerful magic using AltinBasak, #50, color 3053.

12. Krystyna Mura - worked two models in her pristine style ...

She used beads in the center and around the central ring.

And wowed everybody with this spectacular rendition in several different shades of metallic threads and strategically placed beads!
