14th December - crocheted snowflake

Hello......... Another day another snowflake, here's the one for day 14

This ones a stash buster as I used up some of the left over yarn from my icecream cushion

using a 3.50 mm hook,  and another of Elizza's wonderful tutorials

Soon my snowflake was almost complete, but

I just couldn't resist blinging it up a bit with some beads for added sparkle.

Ta-Dah

Then I wondered, what a metallic one would turn out like, I love the metallic silver of this anchor yarn but it's not the easiest to work with

 as it tends to roll in on itself but I decided to give it a go.

and after some much needed blocking

Ta-Dah

Here's how it turned out, 

 It was also one of the snowflakes I sent off for the Home-start snowflake appeal.

here they are together and by the looks of it before the blocking happened.

As always the you youtube beclip is here.

ho ho ho
