Do you see my whoops? I didn't until the blocking began. C'est la vie. This snowflake will have to live without a couple of crystal peaks.

I have found that I really like splashy amounts of chains. They make a dramatic effect rapidly. I would make this one again.

My #2 turned out a little more like a star than the image in the book. Pleasant change.

I failed to mention that I am working in Aunt Lydia's #10 crochet thread with a USB/2.25mm hook.

I am wet blocking and, then, starching each one.

Get ready for Christmas...

Every year I think that I would like to make a slew of snowflakes, but I usually decide too close to the holiday. There happens to be 101 days left before Christmas and I have a book of 100 snowflakes to work on. Let's see if I can do 1 a day and share it here. If I succeed, then this year would have the most posts of any year.

Done, Like a Cake

I just  finished binding off a precious confection. I love the sight of freed needles. I used one of my favorite BOs - reverse i-cord. I look forward to showing you more about this project later. Until then, it is a secret.

Hot. Hot. Hot.

Ventura residents have about a 4 degree range of temperature tolerance, 68 degrees F to 72 degrees F. We have been about 20 degrees above our upper limit for the entire week. The girl who was raised in the high dessert of Southern CA is returning to take b over the pampered beach bum off the last 7 years.
Today, we avoid the heat and knit and dig at the beach.
We began by running through a local fountain. They will probably have a grand finale of pool swimming while I am at with tonight.

Super Stretchy

I just wanted to share that I used JSSBO on closing an elastic casing for a skirt waistband. It seemed right.
