Blocking and Finishing

It is optional but recommended to block your finished piece. Fill a bowl with water and add some liquid starch if you prefer the snowflake to be lightly stiffened. Soak and gently press out any excess liquid, being careful not to pull or twist on the stitches. Lay it flat on a blocking mat and pin the snowflake working from the center out to the edges. Allow to dry completely before removing the pins.

  20. Hey! I absolutely adore your snowflake patterns (I'm actually two away from trying them all, plus purchased the ones on Ravelry). They are incredibly pretty! I was wondering, if you have the time, could you maybe make a photo tutorial for this one? I find myself getting confused by all the text. Thanks in advance!

  22. Couldn’t follow the written pattern. This video is too fast and the commentary is mumbles. Pulled it out after round 6

    ReplyDelete
  23. Row 6-8 are not consistent in spacing, as written, and the pattern gets muddled quickly. Please consider editing. It’s a beautiful piece and I appreciate you sharing. I’d love to add to my collection.
