It was difficult to choose which snowflake to begin with. Of course, I could have just started with the first one, but doesn't everyone do that?
Instead, I began with The Fifth Day of December snowflake and shuttled tatted it while on vacation. I also did some very small motifs like butterflies but I gave them away to anyone who inquired about what I was doing. Clicking on the photo will enlarge it but please don't look too closely :) remember, I was on vacation.
As for doing something new as part of my 25 Motif Challenge, the only thing about this snowflake that was a little challenging was making long, even-tensioned chains.
One of the reasons for choosing this particular snowflake was that each round was repetitive which meant I could put it down and pick it back up later and not lose my place.

I love that book! With all this heat, I think snowflakes are a refreshing idea.
I'm waiting for my copy of this book now.
Long chains are such a challenge for me to keep even. Yours look great! Beautiful snowflake.
Your snowflake looks wonderful! :)
I've had this book a long time but I don't think I've tatted every single snowflake yet. Most of them I've done, but when I come back to it, I tend to tat my favorites instead of new ones!
Thanks to all of you for your kind words. Gina, I can see how you would go back and tat your favorite ones - once to finish them, they're kind of addicting. We'll see what happens.
