I should have known

It's easier to draw a pattern right after I've created it, since the numbers and execution are fresh in my mind. That's why a lot of the time I have the design and drawing done almost simultaneously. After the recent spate of snowflakes I though all of you rabid tatters would be satiated on the glut of patterns. But-- Not you. Never. There are never enough patterns. I agree by the way and I should have know to post the diagrams for the 2 latest creations. So here they are. I agree with Muskaan that the first one falls short as a snowflake, but after I reached this point I though it might make a distinctive floral centre for a doily and I might revisit it with that in mind. It might be fun, just for the challenge to tat it into a square doily which means converting the 6 points of a snowflake into the 4 points of a square. Can you imagine it?

The next one was fun to play with working from a chained central motif into a 6 point snowflake.

There's another design on the shuttles, but when I filled in the gaps It came out round so I have to pull out the points of the snowflake again.  I'm not sure if I'm going to stay on snowflakes for a while or if I'll switch over to something else, maybe hearts or 3D flowers. If I'm going to keep on with snowflakes I'm going to have to order some white thread online as none of the local stores carry anything except size 10.
