here in Houston these past several days. That is, until the rains come in the afternoon. Then it's nice and cool for a while. But it doesn't stop me from wanting to see a little S*N*O*W!I picked up a copy of Melody Griffiths' 201 Crochet Motifs, Blocks, Projects and Ideas at the library earlier today and crocheted this snowflake this evening. While she does include the international symbols with her wonderful patterns, she omits the round or row numbers from the diagrams. ARRGGGHHH! Since I love her designs I can see that I'm going to have to buy my very own copy and mark it up a bit for my personal consumption.
Anyway, the snowflake was very quickly crocheted in Aunt Lydia's Classic Crochet Thread -- #10 white cotton -- with a Susan Bates B or 1 USA 2.25mm aluminum hook. It measures 4.5" across, large enough to work as a coaster. I'm sure it would look just as nice crocheted smaller in #20 or even #30 thread.
