While cleaning out and organizing my tatting stuff, I found two UFOs. The yellow book mark is pattern which I have tatted in various forms over the last 20 years (will show you the original in another post). Then I found Snow Crystals from 'The Tatters Treasure Chest' which I know I started at least 6 years ago and ran out of shuttle thread with two repeats on the outer chain to go. So I added thread and finished it but realised that my style of tatting since starting the challenge has changed and you can see where I took it up again. So I retatted it in varigated purple, using split rings and chains so I only had two threads to hide at the end. The tension difference and new techniques give a piece which needs very little blocking.

You know, I can't see where you took up the snowflake again at all. The purple one is gorgeous.
