A Flurry of Snowflakes

((AARGGHH!! Computers, sometimes I HATE them. I had a new little 7" tablet for Christmas and I have now tried to blog this post on it three times in one browser and once in Blogger, spent nearly two hours trying to correct it's totally random typing and accidental deleting when the backspace key is pressed, that I am about ready to throw it out of the window, only to end up posting a blank Blog. I have reverted to my 'normal' full sized computer.)) Rant over, that's not what this post is about and breathe!!!

Frugalmummy asked the question "What are you working on?", so I thought I would share with you what I have been making between Christmas and New Year. I made some of these lovely snowflakes to hang on the front of my Christmas cards this year (sorry last year!), which could then be taken off to hang on the tree or twig. I enjoyed them so much I thought I would try joining them together to make a Table Runner.

I haven't got a table big enough to show it all, but here is 2/3rds. It has 12 snowflakes in the middle row and is made from cotton. Do you think it would benefit from blocking? and does anyone know if this works just the same with cotton? I think there was something about it not working with certain types of yarn?

I'm not sure who will receive it yet, but at least I am getting ahead on this year's presents? Anyone else got 2013's Christmas presents sorted (or started)?

I really love these snowflakes now I'm just waiting for the real thing and hoping we get some this Jan/Feb, instead of this rain.

Lots of Love Arwedd xx
