Tatted Snowflake Rose #2 in Rhubarb Crisp



Karl scanned this one in for me this morning, as opposed to my snapshots of the other two. I think the difference is amazing. It looks pretty on white too, but DH thought the black looked best.

I have really been stretching this wonderful thread. On this snowflake, I used DMC Cebelia size 20 in yellow as the core thread for the rose medallion. I wish I had thought of that for the first two. As it is all chains, it really doesn't matter and just uses up the hand dyed thread. (Sorry Marilee) LOL I used DMC in pink to tat the outer round. Tatting it this way left me with eight ends to hide, but I think it was worth it. It only took a little while to hide the ends.

If anyone gets tired of seeing tatted snowflakes, just let me know, (or don't look!)

Thanks ladies! No shame in soliciting a bit of praise and support on occasion, huh? LOL
I love my snowflakes and I love this thread. I have three 50 yard skeins left to decide how to use. I am such a miser with this. Believe it or not, I used 40 yards of thread on these three snowflakes!
