Great snowflakes!,
By
This review is from: 60 Crocheted Snowflakes (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)
I love these snowflakes! This is the first time I've crocheted with thread and a steel hook... before that, the finest yarn I had used was sock yarn. I've done two snowflakes so far, and they've both come out great. Each was using #10 thread with a #7 hook, and took 1-2 hours to make while watching TV. I think I'll stick to this thread and hook, even though other patterns call for #20 or #30 thread... I'm not sure I could manage with thread that thin. Barbara describes how to starch the snowflakes, but mine seem stiff enough that I think I'll skip that step. I'm not sure if there are mistakes in the instructions, or if I just don't understand some of the steps, but it doesn't seem to matter. So far my guesses seem to produce beautiful results, even if they might not be exactly what the author intended. Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas this year... assuming I can bear to part with the snowflakes!

This review is from: 60 Crocheted Snowflakes (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)
I made most of the snowflakes in this book. The instructions are reasonably clear, but there are a few I had to adjust. the results are quite pretty if you keep your chains tight.

Great book for snowflake crochet lovers,
By HoleyFiber (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 60 Crocheted Snowflakes (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)
I tremendously enjoy working different pattern from this book! I've made 18 different snowflakes so far - with so many wonderful patterns it is very easy to get carried away. All the pattern are relatively simple (no more than 4 rows) and well-explained. The only thing that may need some improvement is photos - black and white and small. However, they work well enough as guides.
