Crochet Review: Snowflakes Galore!

I stumbled upon a great site for snowflake pattern lovers everywhere!  Oh boy!  heh heh!  If you look around for snowflake patterns at all you may have already found it but just in case let me share it with you.


Snowcatcher's Snowflake Directory has a multitude of free crochet snowflake patterns that are beautiful and unusual.  I get tired of snowflake patterns that look just like the snowflakes I saw everywhere else.  These snowflakes are very unique and absolutely gorgeous.


There's a pink ribbon snowflake I would like to make that incorporates the pink ribbon symbol (not just tying a pink ribbon around the flake) into the pattern.  There's three dimensional flakes of several types, and beautifully colored ones as well.  There's solid flakes, lacy flakes and in between flakes.  There's beaded flakes and flakes without beads that don't really need beads because they're so pretty without the beads.


I am so grateful to people like the Snowcatcher for offering such beautiful patterns to us!  My favorites on this page are the Third Red Mug Snowflake,  the Pink Ribbon Snowflake,
and the Century Snowflake.   Go check it out and share which ones you like best, if you've made any of the snowflakes on this site, etc.  I am just about to start the Third Red Mug Snowflake - as soon as I post this~


Here's another snowflake I made - not from Snowcatcher's site, it's from Trish Kristoffersen's booklet South Maid #1410 Winter Jewels  Snowflake 6. Winter Lace:


PLEASE don't pay attention to my dirty windows!  hee hee!
