The Fibre Friends Podcast has challenges every month. October's was to try a craft you have never done or not done in a long time. I crochet but have never made snowflakes. The steel hooks and crochet cotton are just too fiddly for me to work with. On the show, Louise made giant ones and I loved them. Bernat Blanket yarn and a size N hook got me the best results. Hooks K and L made to loops too smooshed together. My hands hurt after just one so I have to limit making them to one every few days. Plans are to hang them in my picture window and make a wreath for my door with some. The pattern is found on ExpressionFiberArts.com . I used the video instructions which are clearer than the written ones.
Pat made me an attachment to hold my magnetic board on my metal floor frame and make it easier to see my pattern when cross stitching. I can just leave it upright to look at it, and won't have to keep stopping to pick it up and check where I am.
