4.0 out of 5 stars These tatted snowflakes were are a delight to find., March 30, 2000

By	R. Haldeman "ruth" (Lemont, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The individual photographs are close enough to count the stitches without using the written patterns. The designs range from beginning to advanced skills. Instructions about the process of tatting are clear and easy to follow. It can be difficult to learn to tat from a book, but not impossible. There are two 2-dimensional snowflakes and a few with beads and ribbons, perfect for holiday decorations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the winter season!, January 3, 2000

By	Amy, Tatting & Cosmetics Host, Wedding Guru (Fairlawn, OH USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this book last fall and used it constantly throughout the holiday season, and I plan to use it to make more snowflakes during the remaining winter months. The patterns are varying, although I would like to have seen a few more and some that were more like actual snowflakes. You can tat these patterns in almost any size thread and add beads, glitter, sparkly thread to make them more lifelike, and they make great ornaments for the Christmas tree or decorations for windows or gifts. They're also nice to tat during the hot summer months when you think you're going to suffocate from the heat and humidity ; )

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty tatted snowflakes, July 1, 2005

By	Gillian Buchanan "Classical Music Editor at B... (London, UK) - See all my reviews

Here we have a collection of snowflakes which uses a fairly varied range of techniques including tatted beadwork. The book includes basic instructions for tatting and the patterns are written in longhand with no diagrams.

You will find most of the patterns can be done by someone who has learned the basics and some will be suitable for the beginner. Most of the snowflakes will require some stiffening but there are some pretty 3 dimensional ones which will be particularly good as ornaments. They can be used for window decorations, cards, Christmas decorations and lots of other things as well.

The book represents good value for money especially if you enjoy making tatted snowflakes.
