This is the Angels in the Snow pattern by Miranda (Tatting Fool) that I won on Lily's blog (The Eye Candy for Crafters) a couple of weeks ago. (Woo Hoo!) I really liked the look of this pattern, and it tatted up very nicely. I cringed a little bit when I realized it was SCMRs, but once I got started I realized what a great pattern this is to practice those buggers. Now that I've tatted my practice snowflake, I can make a nice one in white. Maybe even with beads :) This is a wonderful pattern that I will make again - written nicely and easy to follow. Thanks to Lily for the giveaway, and to Miranda for the pattern!

ReplyDeleteI never would have though of orange for a snowflake. I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteYour snowflake looks great in orange - okay, it just looks great. I, too, like this pattern. It isn't as hard as one might think, works up nice and looks pretty, too.
ReplyDeleteSo cute with the little gourds! Perfect. I had to look at the picture a minute to see where the SCMR's were...ah-ha, now I see! That is really a wonderful design.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!
ReplyDeleteI love orange, but never thought to tat with it - lol!!
That's a great first attempt. Congrats!
Love it in orange. Isn't it a great pattern? Plus, it looks different depending on the threads and is you add beads. This orange one would be fabulous with beads or/and different colour chains or... ah, it goes on and on. What fun!
